Nice, now you're just projecting your own disdain for Obama onto the situation. When anti-war Liberals did this about Iraq they were accused by the Right of secretly hoping our troops would fail.

Sounds like you're doing exactly the same thing.

I'm sure you want the Captain to live, but do you want Obama to fail? You seem quite eager to define failure.

I think if he does die, then yes, we failed him.
IMO, I think the failure was letting it happen to begin with. Sorry to rain on your Obama parade.

How in the hell can over a million square miles of ocean be effectively protected?

It's like trying to say the Police are failure because a house in town was broken into and they didn't prevent it from happening.
