HAS THE CAPABILITY OF FIRING HARPOONS 
I know nothing about the military, but I’ve watched a few movies in my time, and I thought the military had snipers with long range capability. Why not just position snipers on one of the ships and “take out” the pirates “simulutaneously”...am I being naive, is that not an option at sea because of the movement of the boats?
Yet in the end Obama will Payoff the pirates...Blame the US ship...or Surrender. After he gets out of the White House bathroom chain smoking KOOL’S!! LOL

I don’t think Obama’s master, King Abdullah would approve of killing these pirates — they’re fellow Muslims.
The 3 pirates have to sleep in shifts, I presume. Sooner or later they’ll be simultaneously zonked and then gotcha.
I hadn’t realized it was an enclosed lifeboat. I don’t watch much TV, and what I have seen has shown an open dinghy like boat, guess that was old footage or what they storm the ships in.
Just saying, betcha if the captain was Israeli, Israel would have figured out a way to rescue him.
The only fair thing to do now is to hand them the keys to the destroyer and ask forgiveness. Let’s hope the destroyer crew remembers to bow.
Wait everybody! Have we considered the feelings of the pirates? What drove them to this? Was it Bush? Was it the US? What did the Americans do wrong to cause this kidnapping? Those cargo ships passing back and forth must have done something to instigate this “crisis”! We must compensate the pirates for the hardship we have caused them./s
And why would you call them during hostage negotiations? Scumbags
One SEAL in the water. Approach from below. Poke a small hole in the lifeboat and leave. Ten minutes later the hostage and the pirates will all be swimming and the hostage can be plucked out of the water and the pirates safely left behind.
“.. covered lifeboat, which had run out of fuel, with 10 days of emergency rations aboard.”
Note to ship owners, replenish lifeboat supplies with pork and beans, canned bacon, and canned hams.
Enough of the Mr. Nice Guy, send in a negotiator from ACORN.
I got it, the Zero can do it, personally.
I would love to take this call:
ME: Hello
Them: We got your President.
ME: Good, Keep him.
“It is time for immediate discussion.” /monty python
If we were serious, that boat would have turned into a cloud of splinters ten seconds after the Captain jumped overboard
Just curious.....how the hell did Reuters get the pirates satellite phone number to call and try to interview them? Does Reuters go around the world passing out satellite phones to all terrorists?
A little tear gas therapy may do the trick..where there’s smoke there’s mayhem.
If Uncle Sam doesn't get this sorted out pretty quick it's going to get messy.
We need to bring back the law of the sea and simply hang all pirates that are captured. That is, the ones that surrender. The others are already dead.
