For the life of me, I do not undertsand why we haven't instituted an official convoy system through there for all US flagged vessels.

My local radio station noted this is the 6th pirated ship in 6 days.
They seem to be on the one-a-day plan.

Far out to sea, their speedboats operate from larger mother ships.Why have no mother ships "disappeared"? < /rhetorical question >

Hah, this comedic incident has all the earmarks of a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, "The Pirates of Appeazance".

From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli
We fight our country's battles in the air, on land AND SEA
First to fight for right and freedom and to keep our honor clean
We are proud to claim the title of United States Marine
Our flag's unfurled to every breeze from dawn to setting sun
WE HAVE FOUGHT IN EV'RY CLIME AND PLACE WHERE WE COULD TAKE A GUN
In the snow of far-off northern lands and in SUNNY TROPIC SCENES
You will find us always on the job -- the United States Marines
(......and Army, Navy, Coast Guard, too!).
Obama has NO intention to "keep our honor clean". Not even our collective door mat.

I'm sure our Changer-In-Chief will rise to the occasion.
He will send Hillary to the UN to present a "firm" letter. If that doesn't work, a demand for a "stern" Resolution might be in order. If for some reason, that falls short, he will demand "unconditional" negotiations.
Don't worry. He's on the job and up to the task!

Convoy?
ARM ALL SHIPS!
DUH!
Valuable cargo, in the middle of the ocean, little speedboats with barbarians and machine guns TAKE OVER huge ship?
Are we stuck on stupid?
A suitably armed ship could pick off these pirates before they get anywhere near boarding. Fer cryin’ out loud, we can read license plates from space but we can’t deal with this?
ARM THE SHIPS! Guns fore and aft and hand weapons for everyone. This is ludicrous!
