We will see zero US interdiction on these guys.. However, know these pirates will soon be pampered by virgins. All credit for God’s work will be found elsewhere.

We can MAYBE give some slack to a couple of pirates, but the rest have got to go.

They are terrorists. Pirates always have been. Not the romantic figures trashy novels and hollywood blockbusters portray that's for sure.

They take no prisoners and neither should we.

From the article:

Some of wondered if terrorism might be involved. But Jim Wilson, Middle East correspondent for Fairplay, the international shipping weekly magazine, said there is no evidence from any credible source that this will evolve into Islamic terrorism. "The pirates and the Islamists have opposing worldviews," he told The Bulletin. "Islam forbids piracy."

I almost puked!

“Islam forbids piracy”

So Islam frowns upon tankers being kidnapped but doesn’t frown on people being kidnapped and beheaded. What’s wrong with this picture?

(I’m barfing too.)
