Motherships, eh? This is what happens when you have a generation raised on video games.

The International Maritime Bureau has recorded 31 attacks off Somalia this year but believe many more go unreported...The 31 includes the seizure a month ago of a Japanese tanker carrying as much as 40,000 tons of highly explosive benzene in the Gulf of Aden. Referring to Islamofascists as "pirates" just romantacizes them in the eyes of a generation raised on Pirates of the Caribbean. Obviously these psychos aren't after conventional treasure.

I just read this article. It reminds me of the Barbary Coast Muslim pirates all over again. You know what we did to them, thanks to Thomas Jefferson who went against Congress and sent ships over to eliminate the problem.

Which is exactly when the “war on terror” or more appropriately the war on Islamic fascism started.
Maybe they could get that Democrat kunich guy to describe the mother ship to them so they’d know what to look for. He probably only remembers the bright lights and strange experiments though.

AC-130. Long loiter time. Plenty of firepower.

Yep. Jefferson studied the enemy, read the Koran, and knew what we were up against even then. It’s amazing that so many Americans still haven’t figured it out.

I feel a little like a wine steward when I say this, but ... excellent choice, monsieur.
I'd like to see the AC-130 nicknamed the WOH. As in, World Of Hurt. It can fly low, fly slow, and bring the pain on an epic scale. When you see that MF'er coming, there is no time to prepare and little chance to defend. If you're lucky, you have enough time to pray and then to double over and kiss your ass goodbye.

There might be a mother ship or there might not.
In the third world, necessity is the mother ship of practice so these skiffs may be used in spite of the danger of being so far out at sea.
