White House Issues Clarification On Somali Attacks
T
he White House has issued a clarification on its stated policy regarding operations in Somalia related to the activities of pirates, and apologized for the recent incident in which three pirates were killed.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs confirmed that the Navy had misunderstood President Obama’s orders, resulting in the unfortunate death of three working class, teenage pirates and a probable deterioration in how pacifists and life-long America-haters may feel about America.
Gibbs stated that a careful review of audiotapes of a conversation between the president and the Secretary of Navy proved the president did not say, “I authorize ATTACKS on the pirates,” but rather, “I authorize A TAX on the pirates.”
Gibbs said that as a result of the missunderstanding, the president has issued a formal apology, which will be delivered to Somalia as soon as someone finds a Somali government official to deliver it to. Gibbs also confirmed that the president has signed a new excutive order, ruling that 95 percent of Somalis will now receive a tax cut.

Funny, however with Turbo Tim in control I would believe anything done in this administration.

Finally when our President steps up and does something that good conservatives can support, someone has to make a joke of it. I think his ordering the Seals to kill those pirates was a good and needed choice. God Bless President Obama and God Bless the USA.

Well – I agree there – too…but I understand the humor. It comes from frustration at things you wish were a sick joke…such as pushing a gazillion $$$ bailout with no discussion. And it turns out – some banks want to GIVE BACK the money because there are so many strings attached – but IT IS AGAINST THE LAW now for the banks to give back the money. Tom McClintock has introduced a bill to Congress and it already has 80 backers (some DEMS ) to make it legal for the banks to give bank the money . That’s our money.. What is going on to write that into the bill??? Power grab of a major degree. Or at least it seems to me…That is why I believed this funny story about the pirates. Everything seems like a bad dream or a bad joke…
