Been there done that.
Who is the most responsible for a positive outcome in the Pirates hijacking the Maersk Alabama?
a. The US Navy?
b. The US President?
c. The ship's crew and captain who were able to take the ship back with only one hostage and potential fatality before the military could even be involved?
I am an Obama supporter and my late boyfriend has been a Navy SEAL so I should be biased there and all around the government and military did a good job but the real credit should go to the ships crew and captain who probably figured he would end up dead when he surrendered himself to ensure the safety of his crew and ship.
14 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoIf you were in charge of the Somali Pirate situation what you do?
Pirates take control of a container ship, crew members take back ship and four pirates have one US hostage in a lifeboat.
What action is warranted? If you were in control of the US Military what would you do?
What are the positions of the Germans and other who have ships being taken in that area? What about private ships that are just out for cruises that get taken when they go in to known pirate waters?

Funniest answer without getting nasty about the other side gets the 10 points.
This place needs to lighten up a bit.
7 AnswersElections1 decade agoWhat other rabbits do the Obama haters think they can pull out of their hats?
now that the electoral college has cast their votes and there was no surprise overturn of the election, and the Supreme Court continues to reject the citizenship challenges and Obama is not figured in the Blagovich scandal (made apparent by the prosecutor).
Is anyone still saying that somehow he will not be sworn in and become president?
18 AnswersElections1 decade agoAny predictions on how many times today?
someone will claim Obama will be disqualified as he has not produced a birth certificate (or certificate of live birth as some insist it has to be called even though we all know what it means)
27 AnswersElections1 decade agoIs John McCain going to tell Obama how to catch bin Laden?

19 AnswersElections1 decade agoWhy did only 61% of eligible voters vote last Tuesday?
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/11/06/voter.turno...
There were a record number of votes cast but not a record of percentage. With the election being so heated and the war and economy you would think that everyone that could vote would have.
Why did that 39% not vote%

4 AnswersElections1 decade agoWhy is Obama ahead in Arizona?
It is early and a lot of votes to count but really he should not even be close in McCain's home state.

1 AnswerElections1 decade agoCan Sarah Palin say she is thrifty because she only spends other people's money?
Alaska paid for her kid's travel airliine and travel. She was paid food and accomodations for working at home. Her makeup and hairdresser is the highest paid person on the campaign courtesy of the GOP. She has a $150,000 wardrobe to choose from - including clothes for the first dude and the kids.
