Headline story in the Washington Post was "Captain's Rescue Gives O'Bama an Early Victory".

Below that, of lesser importance, was "Navy SEALS Kill Three Pirates".

I guess you really can't expect a liberal bird cage liner to lead with something like "Navy SEALS Rescue American Capt. Unharmed as the World Watches".

But I guess that's just me, and millions of other Americans who'd rather credit the US Navy, the SEALS, and the ship's crew that took on the Pirates.

Or, to be more simplistic and to the point: How about a victory for America?
