(Washington - 4/11/09) After intense negotiations with 4 pirates in a dingy, the U.S. Government obtained their permission to fly in grief counselors to the U.S.S. Bainbridge in an attempt to help the crew through this perilous time.

Said a spokesperson, "We realize this is a stressful time for all involved and have been actively talking with Somali warlords who have been in contact with the fishermen currently holding the Master of the Maersk Alabama. After 48 hours of non-stop talks we are exhausted but have obtained the fishermans approval for us to take decisive action and get these grief counselors onboard as soon as possible. We wish we could do more, but as you know, the President takes weekends off so we'll continue to fight the good fight on Monday."

I think these Somalis must have very hurt feelings that some divisive Americans are calling them “pirates.” They are really Somali community organizers conducting outreach programs, seeking alternative paths to development.

The first thing to do is apologize....

If 0dumbo and his gang had any smarts, they’d be bringing in snipers to take out the terrorists in the dingy.

LOL...don’t be surprised if this is the next step for BO and Hillary in the present crisis. I’m sure the Somalis are already planning their next attack on our pathetically weak State Dept.

This was brilliant satire because I thought it was real until I read the last part.

Even if something is marked satire, I’m still not sure anymore. Did you see the thread about the pirates’ civil rights from the UK paper in 2008?

Did you see the HuffPo article sympathizing with these pirates/terrorists and the supporting comments it received? THAT is truly sickening..

ZERO is getting ready to board AIR FORCE ONE for a quick flight to Saudi Arabia, where ZERO will bow more deeply to The KING and Leader of MUSLIMS WORLDWIDE, offering Kisses to the King’s Toes and Soles of His Shoes. That action is expected to end the Pirate Hostage Taking on a High Note.

Grief counselors are a much a much better choice than frogmen - Navy Seals who might actually save lives are sooooooo yesterday.

Yep, grief counselors (liberals touchy-feelie types) will help people resolve their feelings of helplessness in the face of overwhelming reality. The reality of our powerlessness against the powerful pirates of the world... /s

We'll need to hire more "grief counselors" - 'cause piracy is gonna become a lot more common...

OMG no. Supportive of what? The cause? And what would happen if they or their loved ones were abroad and were kidnapped as an American citizen - what then? What would they expect - you don’t think it would be action, would you?
Will another “Nightline” be born as a result of some inaction of this administration?
