This is getting silly. How many US Naval ships does it take to take care of a few somalis in a dingy?

If Obama lets the military take charge, they will get every one of the Somali pirates, recapture all stolen vessels, save the hostage, and then lay wast to the port part of Ely.

But thats unlikely.Some of the pirates are probably Luo, the same tribe of the Zero's heritage.

And Obama doesn't want to spoil his suck up policy to the Saudis and the Iranians.

Obama has even worn Somali pirate garb, so since he is one of them, not much is gonna happen except whimpy suck up.

The USS Boxer, based here in San Diego is the Flagship of the unit off the Horn of Africa.

There might be a few Somalians in the boat, but in mins. they can have hundreds arrive as backup.

Maybe it’s for keeping the shipping lanes open and safe.
