"So, the "pirates" were out of gas, out of ammo, offered to release the Captain and the US said no, sending in the SEALS to gun these guys down so they could look heroic on TV?" -- Wake the Flock Up
Once more the AmeriKan MSM is presenting you "news" that is some STAGED and MANUFACTURED while leaving so many details concealed!!!
Yes, readers, I am tired of typing it.
"Navy kills 3 pirates to save US captain; President authorizes action by snipers on destroyer; Ship's crew, Vermont family, Mass. Maritime rejoice" by Globe Staff | April 13, 2009
With the Vermont captain of a cargo ship intercepted off the Somali coast in "imminent danger" of death, Navy snipers killed three pirates holding him hostage on a lifeboat yesterday in an operation authorized by President Obama, according to a top Navy official.
More deaths laid at the feet of the new war criminal in the White House!
A pirate was seen pointing an AK-47 assault rifle just after dark at Captain Richard Phillips when the commander of the nearby USS Bainbridge gave the order for sharpshooters on the destroyer to open fire at the lifeboat bobbing on the Indian Ocean, Vice Admiral William E. Gortney said at a press conference....
Phillips endured nearly five days in the cramped lifeboat in a sweltering Somali heat before the Navy freed him yesterday about 7:20 p.m. local time, 12:20 p.m. in New England, where family and friends of the Winchester native anxiously awaited the news on a cold, sunny Easter Sunday.
Yeah, tell me about the cold spring again, global-warming fart-misters!
Phillips's crew has called him a hero, and Obama - who spoke with Phillips and his wife yesterday - said the captain was "a model for all Americans."
**********************
Phillips was in good health and had suffered no apparent injuries, despite being "tied up inside the lifeboat" for much of the ordeal. Late last week, Phillips attempted to escape. He dove into the sea in an attempt to reach the Bainbridge but returned to the lifeboat after a pirate opened fire and watched on Saturday as pirates turned away a small Navy craft with gunfire....
I'm sorry, world, but that accounting of what happened sounds as fishy as hell.

What, they took Summers' advice?
"On December 12, 1991, while serving as chief economist for the World Bank, Summers authored a private memo arguing that the bank should actively encourage the dumping of toxic waste in developing countries, particularly "under populated countries in Africa," which Summers described as "UNDER-polluted."
