I love a happy ending.
Happy beginning?
Happy first of your last day on earth? Good start? How about; think-we’re-bad-wait-til-the-chechy/ruskies-get-hold-of-you-and-they-can’t-identify-your-remains....
Just my input, but based on past experience, thought I’d throw this out there. Think I’m kidding? Ask some Georgians...
Me too!
Here’s a plan...
Fill a ship with ANFO, manifest it as being filled with solid gold dubloons, and sail it down the Somali coast. When the pirates attack, the crew abandons ship in a fast tender they have standing by.
When the ship reaches Kyl, detonate remotely.
The downside is that we would be providing the pirates with a brand-new harbor for future operations. On the up side, there would be no more pirates to conduct them.
The Russians could sink that vessel killing crew and pirates.
The MSM would not say a peep.
However, if we saved the crew but had to kill the pirates, the headlines in NY Times front page for the next 14 days would read: “Brutal US kills Surrendering Pirates trying to feed their communities”.
Just give peace a chance!
A “Carthaginian Peace”!
I remember what happened years back when terrorists tried kidnapping Soviet citizens. Castrated bodies started to be delivered to family members of the terrorists.
“But the pirate spokesman insisted the report was not true, that his colleagues were just celebrating the Muslim feast of Eid al-Fitr despite being surrounded by American warships and helicopters.”
Another Muslim/Islam loving terrorist organization.
Who would’ve thought?
Wasn’t this the same ship where the somalis reportedly died of radiation poisoning?
No dummy, that was an Iranian ship.......
No, this ship is Ukrainian, the ship you’re thinking of is IRANIAN. Which makes the mysterious poisoning all the more scary.
No dummy? Personal attacks are not welcome on FR. You need to apologize to HT for such remarks.
