MOMBASA, Kenya (AP) - Somali pirates vowed to hunt down American ships and kill their sailors and French forces detained 11 other brigands in a high-seas raid as tensions ratcheted up Wednesday off Africa's volatile eastern coast.

Pirates fired grenades and automatic weapons at an American freighter loaded with food aid but the ship escaped and was heading to Kenya under U.S. Navy guard.

' "We will seek out the Americans and if we capture them we will slaughter them," said a 25-year-old pirate based in the Somali port of Harardhere who gave only his first name, Ismail.

"We will target their ships because we know their flags. Last night, an American-flagged ship escaped us by a whisker. We have showered them with rocket-propelled grenades," boasted Ismail, who did not take part in the attack.'

BRING IT ON, SKINNY!

This is an act of war. I wish Obama had the guts to act like it and take action to protect Americans on the high seas and protect our merchant shipping.

Pirates


SEALs

I'm not sure the pirates are thinking clearly, but I'm okay with paying for ammunition while they learn.

We can easily bomb the mother ships and the coastal areas to kingdom come but with this administration I seriously doubt it. This will be a problem like the Muslim bombings of the 90s under Clinton.

One fine day, the world is going to go into shock,
when Americans have finally had enough of this abuse.
From Commie and hegemonic Islam, down to punk Somali
pirates, we have taken about all we are going to take.
One fine day, enough will be enough and the world will
wonder what made us act like we will...

"The Liberty Sun's American crew successfully blockaded themselves inside the engine room—the same tactic that the Maersk Alabama crew used to thwart last week's attack on their ship."

Crews should not have to hide from thugs in engine rooms praying they won't be slaughtered.

They should be armed. And I'm not talking fire hoses.

Damn the UN.

Lots of hard talk from guys who don’t seem to like the business end of American guns very much. We know where you live, Ismail. Don’t make it worth our while to come after you.

We should get a shipping line to create an “International Pirate Hunting Cruise” and make it a pay-for-play cruise to go hunt those skinnies.

Rush is talking right now about letters of mark and reprisal by the US to operate under the rules of war to allow privateers to take care of these pirates. Hell, I’d pay money to do that.

” BRING IT ON, SKINNY! “

Are you talking about Barry ? :-)

Barry is too busy with the real terrorists.
He’s spying on people buying
bulk items at Sam’s Club ,praying outside abortion clinics and returning from serving their country.
In Barry’s world,the SEALs could actually be the bad guys.

Well Ismail, I suggest you read “Moby Dick” before you run off at the mouth. We Americans aren't going to take kindly to your kind, in spite of pussy politicians.
