I've been thinking about what Navy Vet posted. Call um what ya want but when was the last time anyone holding hostages were given ransoms or freedom to leave the scene. We just can't start “paying up” It will just bring on a “next time”. We need to do every thing we can to save the captain but send a message that we will not tolerate this.

Under Democrats, every two-bit pirate outfit kicks America around, it’s just more of the same. Jimmy Carter, Clinton, Obama, they want the world to “like them”. All thugs understand is force and strength. They should blow them out of the water, and or hang them, the captain lost his ship, and volunteered to be a hostage, so good luck

If I were president I would send a message to the Iranian navy/Somali Terrorists and say:

At this minute I am authorizing the US marine expeditionary force with an intial attack force of 20,000 troops and an aircraft carrier group with the mission to eliminate your trade and supply chain within Somalia. Logistics are under way.

you can reverse this decision by releasing the captain. If not we will also have no choice but to kill you (and the captain if necessary)and any other pirates and hostages withing range, in order to cut more costly future losses. You have one hour to the point of no return. In return you will be given fuel and a chance to make a run for it
