I don’t get it either. Seems like two snipers on the destroyer could solve the pirate problem.

What authority does the FBI hold in international waters off the coast of Somalia?

Ya gotta understand the way federal agencies work.

The more inefficient and ineffective you are, the bigger your budget gets and the more people you get to hire and command.

Any more questions?

Everybody was told to stand down until Hillary and the FBI shows up, they don’t want a solution to the problem before they can make it worse.

When this happened before, good old Gerald Ford sent in the Marines and a handful ended the situation quickly and those pirates never took another hostage in their very brief lives.

Let them float around for a few days to get good and tired and then have a few SEAL’s swim up to the boat late in the night.

I still think we should have some NRA Fun Cruises in the area.

Does the Ship Captain with the gun to his head have a family?

They may be appreciating a degree of diplomacy.

Put a sniper in an OH-58 about 1200 meters away at night. A .50BMG round through each pirate’s torso and then send in the RIBs full of SEALS. Problem solved.

Or should we just sit down to tea and try to use diplomacy?

Glen Beck is talking about that.

Why the hell does the Navy have to call in the FBI hostage negotiator to do their job?

Ooops. Never mind. It is the PC Navy now. I just forgot.

How naive.
Dems are in charge.
What size boat do the pirates want?
Can our apology be in English?
How much money can the raft hold, or will they take a check?
A US destroyer verses 3 schmos in a raft. Our leaders are unmanned.

Right off the top the lifeboat is anything but a dinghy. As I understand it’s an enclosed boat that can carry something like 30 passengers. Being enclosed it’s unlikely that they can see the captain or the terrorists let alone get a shot.

I suppose that the FBI is there to arrest the crew members of the hijacked ship for fighting back. What else would you expect from an American hating metrosexual muslim POTUS?

Whatever the reasons are that this isn't yet resolved it looks BAD. We look weak being held hostage by a bunch of skinny a$$ Somolians.
I just don't have faith in Obama handling this like a Leader.

Excellent question.

Sadly, I think we will bow to Maersk’s request (it is their vessel) and not only free the pirates but see that they are paid the ransom they originally sought.

There will be an attempt to conceal this but it will fail.

It will be a sad day for America.

Same as Vietnam betrayal.

Obama is thinking of a way for our troops to be killed and make the Pirates heros.

It’s a set up trap choreography for commi f@gs.
