Comments 39 and 40 gave me a much needed laugh (thanks!) but may have startled the ground squirrel that has been stalking me...

I’m guessing that it was an inflatable boat with a slow leak?
To: stephenjohnbanker
LOL Yep inflatable boats don’t go too far after they’ve been shot!

Here are the 11 pirates before they were set free. One appears to be dead.

Western officials were very surprised when the Russian authorities dropped plans to put the pirates on trial in Moscow, the BBC's Richard Galpin reports from Moscow. Perhaps those western officials should compare the estimated cost of those trials to the cost of a few bullets through the raft.
A nation must prioritize its expenditures.

Now there is even more surprise the pirates were set adrift in the Indian Ocean to make their own way home, he adds.
wink,wink....no mention of a boat nor chains around their waists.

Maybe a Russian sub just happened to blow ballast directly beneath them.

The Russians are tired of screwing around with Muslims who have bombed and and kidnapped Russians back home. They also are showing their distain for Obamas soft diplomacy. Catch and release on the spot is a very good idea.It promotes cannibalism among pirates, and gives them a fair chance to get home.
I am beginning to like the Russians. The score is Putin 8 , Obama 0 ( zip, nada, zero).
Putin scores.....( 1) Georgia, 2)Poland star wars, 3)Iran nukes, 4)Iran Russian-Air Defence missile systems,5)Russia supplies nuclear tech to Iran, 6)Russian does not participate in Iran sanctions, 7)Russia disarms outdated missiles to USA s state of the art missiles one for one,8) Russia does catch and release with Muslim pirates ( Obama surrenders)
Obama loses, BIG TIME.
