Bolton Calls For Coalition Of The Willing To Invade Somalia (Video)
ConservativeXpress, Fox News ^ | 4/13/09

Posted on 04/13/2009 9:51:12 AM PDT by DrGop0821

Former UN Ambassador John Bolton makes a case to deal with pirate "outlaws" with a "prudent use of force."

Sound great, except does anyone actually think France, Germany or England would risk the political implications of such a move?

Not to mention, I seriously doubt Obama has the guts to attack a rogue Muslim African nation.

If you want to deal with pirates, you should bring back Letters of Marque.

No more *bailouts* for the weenies who created this problem in the first place. If those other nations who have been paying ransoms for years — want to take care of the problem let *them* do it...

The U.S. has no business solving all those other nations’ problems (along with their shipping companies) — and standing there with their “hands out” asking for a “bailout” from the U.S. while our military does all the “heavy lifting” — “for free”... no less....

No way — no more *bailouts* and especially not for other countries...

How about Kenya? Don’t you think they are pissed that their supplies were almost disrupted by these thugs. It’s also BO’s birthplace.

He’s wrong on this one... this is just a prescription for more “bailout money” to be spent on foreign nations... no less...

France might be the only taker, and that’s a stretch. Heck, they might have to go it alone.
