Nah, that would be doing something and the WH won't give permission for Navy to do it's thing.
Okay..., we’ll just leave it with — “stupid pirates”... LOL..
Not if the WH doesn't know it can do its thing.
It's the weekend. People are hard to get a hold of. Maybe someone took a page out of Rogue Warrior...UNODIR. (UNless Otherwise DIRected...)
Either that or someone managed to 'bump the switch'--How'd that happen?
I would imagine that someone might be jamming the hijacked German vessel a good bit...and that someone might be messing up the GPS onboard the vessel as well (note, we own the satellites).
For these dimwit pirates on the lifeboat...it’ll be a long period. As they start to run out of water and food...and threaten the Captain even more....we’ll likely just pull back another mile and just stand there. In a week...as they lay there in a thirsty condition and unable to do much of anything...we’ll just take them easily.
