Pirate Showdown Exposes Conservative Talking Heads for What They Are: Anti-American Disaster Porn Perverts
This is maybe the most disgusting display of conservative mental illness and anti-Americanism I've seen to date.
While all of these pampered fops were sitting, doughy asses-in-chair and having their pusses painted up in TeeVee make-up, so that they could come on the air and go all in against America, actual heroes were at that very moment doing the real dirty work of executing that rescue.
So says CNN:
The military had orders from President Obama authorizing lethal force if there was imminent danger.
"At one point, as uncomfortable as the pirates were, they exposed themselves where there was an opportunity," Gortney said.
He gave details of that "exposure" at a news conference Sunday. He said two of the pirates had their heads and shoulders exposed, while the third was visible in the boat's pilot house, through a window.
"The on-scene commander saw that one of the pirates still held that AK-47, was very, very concerned for the captain's life -- and he ordered the shots to be taken," Gortney told CNN on Monday.
Even with the small boat "moving up and down a couple of feet," the SEALs hit their targets. "Remarkable marksmanship," Gortney said.
The moment came at 7:19 p.m. (12:19 p.m. ET) Sunday -- after sundown, military officials say.
12:19 p.m. ET on Sunday.
Where, exactly, do you think each of these tough-talking blowhards were at 12:19 p.m. ET on Sunday?
