It's going to be kinda hard for Republicans to claim President Obama is "weak" or whatever b.s. after this:A senior US official tells me that President Barack Obama approved a recommendation by Defense Secretary Bob Gates and Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Michael Mullen to dispatch special forces to the US scene on Friday.Yep, and it's also going to make a lot of people realize that Barack Obama is not just some touchy-feely community organizer, he's also the big-time bad-ass commander in chief of the United States of America as well. Nice job, Navy special forces, and nice job President Obama!

Captain Phillips is now safe aboard a U.S. vessel.
It's "going to make a great movie," a U.S. official adds.
P.S. Good point here: " If this mission resulted in the Captain being killed he would have been blamed by the media as well as the wingnuts. Since this mission was successful, Obama is responsible for the success as well."
