“”How about stop all pirating or A10s will start commuting up and down the Somali beaches, etc. But no, we would never do something so simple and effective...””

These pirates were 300+ miles offshore - we do have the right to be in international waters (13 miles, I believe)so why DON’T we have a show of force in the area?? Good suggestion you have.

I’m waiting for ZERO to pay $50M in ransom to help his Muslim buddies - after Italy gets $50,000 - so far unconfirmed, I believe.

The news media is reporting that the ship is asking the navy to stand off. Don't believe that for a minute. The Navy will take charge of the situation unless Obama gives the stand down order.

And any negotiation should go this way: There are four of you and a whole lot of us, You are stuck in a life raft without gas, we are on a destroyer that within a blink of an eye can blow you all to hell, and the port you set sail from. You decide how this is to end. You can surrender now, or add another verse to the Marine Corps Hymn.
