DoD Statement on Boarding of Commercial Tanker Morning Glory

“Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby provided the following statement:

“No one was hurt tonight when U.S. forces, at the request of both the Libyan and Cypriot governments, boarded and took control of the commercial tanker Morning Glory, a stateless vessel seized earlier this month by three armed Libyans.

“The boarding operation, approved by President Obama and conducted just after 10 p.m. EDT on March 16 in international waters southeast of Cypress, was executed by a team of U.S. Navy SEALs attached to Special Operations Command Europe.” More

Holy cow.

I find myself wondering how world media sees Obama at this point.

I’ll have to start checking it out. I wonder if its better to go for straight BBC rather than BBC America?
