I guess I don’t mind paying them as long as we toast them after the hostage is recovered...
hh
Yes.
As long as payment is made in lead.
put a couple of drones over their land based HQ which I’m sure we some idea of where it is and tell them, or else!!
They need to completely destroy every village in Somalia where these pirates are based. If we don’t start killing them they will continue hijacking ships.
Only to stockpirates. :-)
I think we should give them an all-expenses paid trip to Washington, D. C., to spend an entire day and night with President Barack Obama and his lovely family.
Wouldn’t that be swell?
“Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute!”
Look it up.
Let’s do a prisoner exchange. We give them Joe Biden for the Captain.
Don’t worry all you libtards out there. A day spent with Biden and they will PAY US TO TAKE HIM BACK.....
Happy Easter Everyone
No, but we probably will.
I know this is terrible, but we can’t. Bottom line. It will show us as very weak. No guanantees that he would be given back safely. I feel bad for the family and him but we have to see this through with military force IMHO.
Pay the ransom, get the Captain back, blow them out of the water, send a message...
I have asked about this before as my daughter has been considering a career as a Merchant Mariner, & been told the problem is that international law prohibits commercial boats from arming themselves; I have no idea why navy didn’t fire on em when the US ship captain tried to escape is beyond me—maybe their night vision goggles were not working?
Sadly, this will continue to be a huge problem till ships can arm!
Not to be off thread, but it reminds me of gun control—the law abiding citizens are following the gun ban laws, only the criminals are carrying and everyone knows it—so only the pirates are armed & everyone knows it. :(
While the hostage twists in the waves, Obama considers what action he takes..if any.... will affect HIM. He has to test the wind and read the polls while an honorable US citizen’s life hangs in the balance. Life is cheep for our president. More proof.
Tell them only if they take Barney Frank also.
