Nuke their muslim as$es! Problem solved.

He is right now writing a very nasty letter of reprimand boy are they going to be sorry.

I imagine he will have Hillary deliver it. If nothing else scares the pirates that should do it.

Obama Looks to UN to Send Stern Warning”

How true. :o/

[Jeff Head]

Well, we have numerous ships already conducting operations against these pirates...and I also heard that Blackwater and others have made proposals to do exactly what you said with both people on board these vessels, and using small craft of their own. It just amazes me that we are not...two or more years into these activities...already there.

[Jeff Head]

You are spot on target with that comment.

[Jeff Head]

LOL!

[Jeff Head]

Yep...1979 is coming back into focus.

[Jeff Head]

same thing that happened when Bill the Klintoon was in office

Yep...him too. But I am thinking it is more akin to Carter at this point...but worse.

[JimRed]

I wonder what would happen if pirates Marxists were to seize control of the white house or congress or SCOTUS or the media or the schools?

4 out of 5 already; more to come.

[light-bulb]

Wear hearing protection...

This is very simple to solve. .50 cal fore and aft. Better range and lethal. Someone comes upon a ship they’ll be cut in half. I promise the word will get out to stop hijacking ships that do this. If Maersk simply defends their sovereignty while on the open seas this will stop for them. By the time any Seal team gets the green light... yea lets just keep waiting for that to happen with O’SleezeBag at the helm.

At some point this will need to happen.

Do we refuse to negotiate with terrorists or do we cave?

[Jeff Head]

N. Korea was already a test...and he failed miserably IMHO.

Quick, send in the Bowing Apologizer-in-Chief...he will save the day! /s

[wtc911]

Understood but I still think that TOTUS will hand this off to NATO or the UN. He will not act decisively.

[101voodoo]

I read he has asked Michelle to get him her very largest and heaviest purse, which he will use to smash them with. Then, THEN he will get the UN to issue a very, VERY strongly worded resolution condemning this sort of behavior.

Yeah, the puppet’s really gonna kick some ass.

[edcoil]

My local radio station noted this is the 6th pirated ship in 6 days.

They seem to be on the one-a-day plan.

[JimRed]

Far out to sea, their speedboats operate from larger mother ships.

Why have no mother ships "disappeared"? < /rhetorical question >

[Jeff Head]

I believe we need to get to the point that everything that the Somalis have to sea over 500 tons shoud be taken out if they do not stop this themselves...and anything smaller than that is limited to their territorial waters on pain of sinking until the situation (the entire Somali pirate thing) is resolved and ended.

The people along those coasts know who is doing this and they are either part of it, egging it on and proud of it, turning a blind eye to it, or are too cowed to try and stop it
