There’s only one thing to do with a pirate - if you don’t throw him overboard to the sharks, HANG THE B@ST@RD.

Thanks very much for this update. The pirates see a do-nothing weekling at the helm of the country....Not a good situation.

What?

I can’t wait to see this. I hope they clean the ocean with these guys. What a proud USA moment in light of all the other victims.

I hope and pray for the best.

Look for the pirates who were thrown over board to sue. I’m sure Mr. Obama will issue an apology to them for good measure.

Smart sailors- they knew better than to wait for Washington to make a decision.

Just because a bunch of LIV’s elected a do nothing weakling doesn’t mean Americans are do nothing weaklings.

I’ve heard of some crews repelling the pirates using Molatov’s and water cannons,

but I believe this is the first instance of a crew taking the ship back after being taken over.

Well, the White House has been “monitoring” the situation. Have they taken credit for this latest turn of events yet?
