Reports indicate that pirates holding American Cargo Ship Captain Richard Phillips hostage, fired on sailors from the USS Bainbridge who had approached the pirates' lifeboat in a small vessel attempting to communicate with them. Having been fired on, the sailors reportedly retreated back to the Bainbridge, not wanting to cause harm to Captain Phillips. This standoff is now in it's fourth day. The pirates are demanding $2 million ransom and safe passage in exchange for Phillips. . . . . . (Watch Video)

Who could have ever thought we would live to see such pathetic leadership? I guess they just order a pizza from 800 miles away and wait whenever there is work to be done...

“Sources added that, contrary to earlier news reports, the pirates had fuel on the lifeboat and had used it to move within 20 miles off the African coast.”

This is good though.

Our New President's moment will be one of embarrassment and surrender.

Bend over or bow Mr. President. Either way, you have given up.

Now get the F*** out of the way and let us find a real man or woman to lead us!

Let them use up their ammo... But I’m sure Obama will send them new supplies.

They wil float to shore into the arms of their khat-chewing countrymen, to disappear unpunished for their crime on teh high seas. O-Vomit will hail it as a “victory” because the captain was unhurt...and more importantly, no muslims were hurt. His teleprompter will tell him to say that this is proof that you dont need to fire a shot to “win”.

I’m pleased when people like them enough to repost as long as my name is left on. Thank you Dinah.

Let me know if you do not have a host site so I can put it in a site with endless bandwidth.

This is just a small sample of what the muzzie hoarde has in store for us infidels.

Pretty soon they will be ransoming us over nukes, either we pay or Austin, Texas goes kerplooey.

And don't blame the muzzie in the White House, blame your neighbor who pulled the lever for him and his kind.

The cancer is within, and its terminal.

Thanks, I’ve had quite a variety of comments on this one. Some were wanting ‘looter man’ in the graphic.
