WASHINGTON(AP) - The U.S. Navy has rescued the American sea captain held by Somali pirates.
A senior U.S. intelligence official said hostage Richard Phillips was not hurt in what appeared to be a swift firefight off the Somali coast on Sunday. Phillips was safely transported to a Navy warship nearby.
The official said three pirates were killed and one was injured.
The official was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Maybe B.O. does have a set of balls after all. But remember, "one swallow does not a summer make."

Rev. Gregori, you might be right. According to some pundits there seemed to be an imminent threat to the hostage captain's life so the military followed SOP. So B.O. may NOT deserve any direct credit.
That being said, very often any negative condition is laid at the feet of our Chief Executive (no matter if they're Democrat or Republican) with the idea that it "happened on their watch" so they get to take the blame for it.
That sort of thinking can be used to the advantage of the incumbent sometimes. As you know, I'm NOT an Obot but whats good for the goose is good for the gander.
Which takes us back to my comment about one swallow, if he really "has a set" this won't be a fluke. If he doesn't we'll all know soon enough.
Sorry, guys I can't jump on the BO bandwagon. He had a host of advisers telling him what a good political move this would be. Of course that's my thoughts for what it's worth.
Hey Subvet, In the good ol' days I bet you guys would have just shot those SEALS out a torpedo tube instead of having them parachute in wouldn't you?
