Safe and Sound.

You have just been shown to be tremendously wrong, and a FOOL. Captain Phillips has been freed. General Patraeus, Admiral Roughead, the FBI, and the Administration deserve a lot of praise. This was a "test" of the Administration and the Pentagon, and they did a great job - - - passing...

Shinseki is the only military general to stand up to Rumsfeld and Bush and publicly tell the world that we needed a lot MORE troops in Iraq back in 2003. After he made his statement, Rumsfeld and Bush essentially demoted him and put him out to pasture He's a great man and I'm glad that he is...

This may come as news to you, but the word plaque usually refers to: 1.) An ornamental brooch; a badge of an honorary order. 2.) A sticky colorless film on teeth that is formed by and harbors bacteria. 3.) an atherosclerotic lesion. Cesko, your intellect is too funny. Did you ever...

Please feel free to educate me on your above claim in regards to the differences between white anglo-saxon's and African Americans. I'm curious to learn the differences. Please be specific in your reply. Thanks.

A true modern day hero. Gave up his life to save the lives of his crew. And the USA got him out of a very difficult situation safe and sound. http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/africa/04/12/somalia.pirates/index.html A very Happy Easter indeed!

It's not just Obama's having pursuaded Robert Gates to stay on that makes the President look extremely intelligent, but look at his appointments across the military and intelligence spectrum . . . General Jim Jones as head of the NSA, General Eric Shinseki as head of the VA, etc. As for...

Official: US sea captain freed in swift firefight By LARA JAKES, Associated Press Writer Lara Jakes, Associated Press Writer – 6 mins ago WASHINGTON – The U.S. Navy has rescued the American sea captain held by Somali pirates. "A senior U.S. intelligence official said hostage Richard...

No, you are wrong. These are ALL transactions based on contracts. There was literally a "naked" seller, and a buyer. AIG was the seller and is the loser. The counterparties are the winners. And yes, it does appear on the surface that this is a way of channeling money into the major...

And given your military expertise in hostage situations, what do you suggest the U.S. Navy do right now that they aren't already doing . . . and do so without endangering the life of Captain Phillips?

Why would it matter for him to make public remarks? Do you wish to elevate Somalian pirates to the level of world leaders and give them some sort of credibility by having the President of the United States talk about them in public? Why would any one want to give them that kind of status...

Comparing "apples and oranges" is an excellent point. The amount of updates that a data-feed has to deal with when confronted by the tremendous activity in stocks like Citi, Wells Fargo, BofA - - - not too mention in the SPY would clearly outweigh anything in the futures markets. In my...

Love your quote by Bennis. As for your claim of "greener pastures on the horizon" . . . do tell! :)

With all due respect, did it ever occur to you that maybe some posters should keep their mouths shut and not make such grandiose claims if they don't know even the most basic of FACTS regarding this hostage situation? One only has to watch the news once a day to be informed of the most basic...

A good read on Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates "transforming" the military into a threat based platform in order to deal with future conflicts and hybrid wars. Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was suppose to lead the concept of military "transformation" back in 2003, but was unable...

Promise? My guess is that your "word" means absolutely NOTHING and that you will continue to follow me around like the little "puppy-dog" that you are . . . be it with this screen-name or an alias. You're unable to use the IGNORE feature because you have no other life than to follow me...

You mean like the way that your ET neo-con "buddies" claimed that North Korea would have never launched their missile last week if Bush was still President . . . but then you conveniently ignored the FACT that the North Koreans launched SIX MISSILES in 2006...

How could you NOT know this??? http://abcnews.go.com/International/story?id=7296164&page=1 It's only been reported like this about 200 times a day on every TV channel and internet news site on the planet!

Leave it to the resident MORONS on this thread to think that Captain Richard Phillips is being held hostage in an "open" boat or a rubber "dingy". The complete lack of intelligence on this thread ( and in this Forum ) recently makes one wonder if these MORONS ever made it out of grade school...

I don't know what news reports you've been following, but how you could call a completely enclosed fiberglass boat that looks an awful lot like a bathyschaphe . . . a rubber "dingy" is beyond all rational comprehension. How old are you?
