I have a hard time understanding how the US Navy can have such a difficult time dealing with a handful of pirates on a small boat. It’s not as if they can go anywhere.
We need to do whatever is necessary to get Phillips back (and we need to demand that the exchange be done at sea) and then kill these bastards.
Well it does seem the pirates are “going somewhere.” Currents are carrying the boat towards the coast of Africa. The Navy isn’t daring to get close enough to touch the boat, so it’s not like they can get a ship in between.
