OMG! These guys have NO education, NO MORALS, but they are CLEVER as hell. Yup, and made our Navy and King Obama look like weak fools. The King will wait until the pirate reinforcements arrive and we will just fold. America is done.

How the hell did it come to this......a dingy with 4 pirates in a standoff with a Navy ship/s? What a joke, when 4 Navy seals could have ended it some time ago....or 4 Marine snipers..it’s called KILL the bastards!

Just what is wrong with us? About one hundred and fifty years ago we had the same problem with the pirates of North Africa, and we soon put an end to them. Today, we can blow the pirates out of the water from half way around the world and we do nothing. Now this would be a change we could believe in. Perhaps it is time to lay down the law, American style, and arm every merchant ship that flies the flag of our country. A brace of 40 mm cannons can get respect from any misfits that roam the ocean. And for good measure, put a 5 inch stern chaser on the fantail just in case you need to run for it. I bet we have as many 40’s as we would ever need, left over from WW2 and stored away in government warehouses.
We all are aware that going to the UN concerning this situation is useless. So again let us show the world that there is a limit to what we will apologize for, and putting these sea raiders out of business is a good start. I object to our country groveling for forgiveness across Europe, just for being a sovereign nation and putting our country first.
