Sounds like one group just received payment from the Saudis to go after the other.

[astounded]

Oh, those wacky pirates! Do they look like Keith Richards (or Johhny Depp)???

[webschooner]

The dirty little secret that Rooters and the rest of the Leftist medjia won't mention is that the pirates are also Mooselimbs.

Therefore the correct headline would be:

Islamists on trail of Somali Islamist pirates

Somalia makes the ‘Wild, Wild, West’ look like a square dance.

Charles Darwin would also surely be proud. If his theories are correct, the most intelligent human of all time should emerge from Somalia. It’ll be the last guy who’s left standing.

Since he plays a pirate in movies, has the lamestream medjia axed Johnny Depp what he thinks the solution is to the international “pirate problem”?

The medjia usually considers actors/actresses’ opinions as expert opinions on every subject.

Obama will grant the pirates amnesty then make citizens of them.

The only reason that this is happening is that the other mohammadans want their cut of the loot!

[Abathar]

I was slumming at the DUmp yesterday and was seeing what was said on a pirate story. There are people who actually believe the the pirates are so decent about not hurting people and being polite to them when they take hostages that we should NOT fire on their vessels or bases.

Basically if we fight back then they will just start killing people in retaliation, then it will be our fault.

Paraphrasing they are just doing what they need to do to get by, we can afford a few cargos to be taken to help them out.

Almost happening in the backyard of Obama country.

thatz kind of what I figured -- "Screw ideology, we're gonna kill all of youse and take all the loot, and we'll sell the friggin boat to the Saudis or whoever the highest bidder is!"

[stboz]

Oh, yeah, right! This is like OJ going after the real murderer.

Charles Darwin would also surely be proud. If his theories are correct, the most intelligent human of all time should emerge from Somalia.

Here's something from the evolutionist Edwin Conklin...

"The religion of evolution holds forth no hope of a perfect millenium in which all evil shall be eliminated and all struggle shall cease... There can be no progress of any kind without struggle... The struggle against evil in general is thus a condition of social progress... Evolution thus offers a rational solution of the great problem of evil. It has taught us that there is all about us a great and world-wide struggle for existence; that inaction and satiety end in degeneration and that advance can be purchased only by struggle, suffering, and death. "

- E.G. Conklin, The Direction of Human Evolution,1921.

You do realize that “Islamist” isn’t the same thing as “Muslim,” right?

[ryan71]

Everybody wants those 25 million nuts.

[Iron Munro]

Islamo-Crooks fghting over the right to rip off the dumb-ass infidels.

[astounded]

Did you need to take a shower after going to DU????

[calico_thompson]

So, who are the bad guys?

From dictionary.com, definition below ... I was referring to definition #2 when I used the term:

islamist

noun
1. a scholar who knowledgeable in Islamic studies
2. an orthodox Muslim

If his theories are correct, the most intelligent human of all time should emerge from Somalia. It’ll be the last guy who’s left standing.

Unfortunately, intelligence is not a survival characteristic in that environment. Viciousness is. the most vicious human of all time should emerge from Somalia, and he probably will.

Osama bin Laden cut his teeth there, after all...
