The pirates see a do-nothing weekling at the helm of the country

Fortunately the Merchant Marines (or is that Mariners?) are made of sterner stuff...

"... U.S.-flagged Maersk Alabama

Had the Somalis been able to read English, they would have known their hijacking wouldn't end well...

They weren’t in Texas so home defense will not be available as a defense in court.

They also weren't anywhere with, well, laws.

Good thing they have a very powerful leader to guide this military... oh wait, he was just “MONITORING THE SITUATION”? Never mind, good thing we have such good soldiers and navy personel...

I’ve looked over the CBS site and don’t see anything about what you posted...the only breaking news being shown is Joe Biden greeting marines coming home from Iraq at Ft Bragg...

I won’t be surprised if Obama tries to prosecute them for not giving the Muslim pirates due process.
