Truth behind rescue of Captain Phillips

Now that the movie, “Captain Phillips” about the Maersk Alabama hijacking
by Somali pirates is out, we need to inform the public about some facts of
that event that haven’t been made public before.

The following article of facts regarding the incident was written by Dr.
John “Jack” Wheeler.

Dr. Wheeler was a man of honor: a West Point graduate, a Vietnam veteran,
and the man who was the driving force behind financing the construction of
the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. He fought long and hard for the dignity and
honor of the fallen Vietnam War soldiers.

He served three presidents as an aide and advisor -- Ronald Reagan, George
H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, for whom he was a special assistant to the
Secretary of the Air Force and a military consultant.

Jack Wheeler was a graduate student at the Harvard Business School when he
was recruited to be an advisor to the president regarding military
tactics. He was a man of integrity and served on the General Staff at the
Pentagon.

Shortly after writing this article, he was murdered sometime
between Dec. 28th and 31st in 2010 and his body was dumped in a dumpster in
Newark, Delaware. Wheeler had homes in Washington, D.C. and New Castle, Del.


Now here’s the story as written by Jack Wheeler that was

suppressed by the media:

All of us need to raise our glasses the highest to the Navy SEALs who
popped those three Somali pirates. And I'm sure you want to hear the real
story of what happened especially because there is a revoltingly
opportunistic and cowardly side to it.

Why, for example, did it take SEAL Team Six (aka DEVGRU, Navy Special
Warfare Development Group) over 36 hours to get to the scene?

Because President Obama refused to authorize the SEAL deployment for those
36 hours, during which the OSC - the on scene commander, Cmdr. Frank
Castellano of the USS Bainbridge - repeatedly requested them. Cmdr.
Castellano is a very, very mature and experienced commanding officer and is
rock solid in his decisions.

Once the SEALs arrived - parachuting from a C-17 into the ocean near the
ship - Obama then imposed Rules of Engagement (ROE) specifying the SEALs
could not do anything unless the life of the hostage, Captain Richard
Phillips, was in "imminent" danger.

Thus, when Capt. Phillips attempted to escape by jumping off the lifeboat
into the ocean, the SEAL snipers had all four pirates (one later
surrendered) sighted in and could have taken them out then and there - but
they could not fire due to Obama’s ROE restrictions.

When the SEALs approached the lifeboat in a RIB (rigid-hull inflatable
boat) carrying supplies for Capt. Phillips and the pirates, the pirates
fired upon them. Not only was no fire returned due to Obama’s ROE, but as
the pirates were shooting at the RIB, SEAL snipers on the Bainbridge had
them all dialed in. Again, no triggers were pulled due to the ROE.

Two specific rescue plans were developed by Cmdr. Castellano and the SEAL
teams. Obama personally refused to authorize them.

After the second refusal and days of dithering, Cmdr. Castellano decided he
had the Operational Area and OSC authority to "solely determine risk to
hostage" and did not require any further approval by the president. He took
unilateral action on Sunday, April 12, 2009.

Four hours later, the White House is informed that three pirates are dead
and Capt. Phillips has been rescued unharmed. Then a White House press
release was immediately issued, giving credit to the president for his
"daring and decisive" behavior that resulted in such success.

Obama has absolutely no military knowledge or experience whatsoever. He
demanded decisional control over the entire hostage drama to the last
detail. All actions required his personal approval. He dithered like a
coward while the world laughed at our warships flummoxed by four illiterate
teenagers with worn-out AKs in a lifeboat.

Only when the Navy Commander decided to ignore his Pantywaist-in Chief and
take action and responsibility himself, were the incredible skills of the
SEALs put into play.

That Obama could cynically and opportunistically claim that his "bold"
"calm" "tough" leadership was responsible should remind everyone that not a
single action, not a single word of this man can be trusted. He is bereft
of honesty and moral character. He is a complete Zero.

The HFR raises a glass full of pride and gratitude to Navy Commander Frank
Castellano, the Navy SEALs for their incredible competence, and our
military. Let's hold a Tea Party in their honor.

What a low-life, lying, racist, Muslim, Marxist, Manchurian coward we have
running our government. It is a disgrace to the office.

WOW!!! Wonder who could possibly have wanted to see Jack Wheeler
dead!!!
