Send them to their 70 Virginians.

Uh, Jefferson would go there half-assed, tail hanging out, and use force inadequate to the task at hand.

Leastwise that's what he did.

Obama will just keep piling warships up until the lifeboat is surrounded. There is no idea what he will do beyond that.

Jefferson must have got it right because we haven’t had a pirate attack in 200 years.

Anybody who starts talking about working with the international community when stuff like this happens is a whuss.

A lot of people on FR dinegrate the French military but they take action to prtect their people.

The Communist in Cheif isn’t up to it.

At the end of the day, fork over the moeny just like he did. (Oh, yes he did!)

Well, I don’t know what Jefferson would have done, but Andrew Jackson would have killed them already and brought the captain home.
