Why in the world can’t we bring is one sniper for every pirate on the boat and coordinate a 1...2...3...shoot kind of thing. Take them all out at once, leaving the captain. I swear the leadership is this country is full of wimps. Someone said bring back Bush. He probably would’ve handled this the same way. He got wimpy after the media pressure following shock and awe.

This is a perfect SEAL team exercise. Those four fools would disappear faster than green corn through the new maid.

Unfortunately these pirates are probably negotiating to be part of an ACORN international branch that will subsequently get funding from Pelosi, etc...

So I doubt we will use our military to do the right thing.

Look at what IOTUS said after DPRK launched their missle:

“Rules must be binding. Violations must be punished. Words must mean something. The world must stand together to prevent the spread of these weapons. Now is the time for a strong international response.”

He just spews spooge for the liberal media to play and NOTHING happens.

He did such a great job on building an international response for DPRK...what a joke and circus our country is becoming.

Because:
1. Lifeboat is enclosed, similar to a cruise ship lifeboat, so all (3) thugs would have to be outside at the same time if you don't want a dead hostage;
2. Lifeboat is bobbing around in the sea;
3. The snipers would be on rolling ships at sea and thousands of yards out.

I'm no expert, but that sounds like a no go for snipers. Maybe someone can correct me.
