Whew.......having a guided missile destroyer from the US Navy chasing you down. Man..........can you say "pucker factor"???

This was posted last night, but it's worth reading the BBC version.
This was a game of cat and mouse -- more like tiger and mouse.
IF nothing else, it was a great surface interdiction drill for the crew. (was never a fair fight ;-)
Go Navy!

Anybody have a guess about the "religious tendencies" of these guys?

Bad day to be a pirate. Great day to be a US Crewman who can tell his grandchildren that he helped catch pirates.

Bummer.
Why capture and not kill?
Now they'll get JAG protection and end up spending 60 days in jail in Vermont.
And Pelosi and Kerry will scream that their human rights have been violated.

I hope they all walked the plank and are swimming with the fishes.

An attack late last year against a luxury cruise liner was repelled by an ear-splitting acoustic device. Recordings of Hillary speeches, I suspect. Makes ya wanna shoot yourself in the head.

US navy captures Somali pirates. Grateful world pauses to consider what a dangerous mess shipping would be if the US Navy didn't patrol the oceans like a bunch of big, friendly neighborhood cops.

And will they apply to them the customary treatment for pirates?
Hanging?
The only conceivable reason I can see they "capture" these scum is to sail the pirate vessel into the nearest port with pirates hanging from the booms.

It's good to see Winston Churchill is still fighting the bad guys! I can't think of a greater national leader in the past century. He's half American too (mother).

They should have blown them out of the water. How's that for a little Christian compassion? LOL
To: MARKUSPRIME
Aren't pirates supposed to be immediately hung (hanged?) from the yardarm when caught?
