Why did it take U.S. Navy Warships 4 days to take down 3 pirates?

The Commander in Chief made it so! Check out the story. You have to wonder. I know I did. My dad was career Navy and it was hard to imagine a stand-off between a life-boat, even if there was a hostage and three or four pirates. It didn't make sense. Well if the story here is correct (and who knows folks, everyone seems to spin these days, but it does explain the long standoff) it was a failure of leadership. So what isn't.

The conclusion ...
Despite the Obama administration’s (and its sycophants’) attempt to spin yesterday’s success as a result of bold, decisive leadership by the inexperienced president, the reality is nothing of the sort. What should have been a standoff lasting only hours — as long as it took the USS Bainbridge and its team of NSWC operators to steam to the location — became an embarrassing four day and counting standoff between a ragtag handful of criminals with rifles and a U.S. Navy warship.
