Well, I say let’s get that captain out of there, and then let’s get our own ships out of there. Let the rest of the world take care of the problem that they’ve “let go” for so long.
All this time and the rest of the world has done nothing about the problem, except cater to the pirates and pay them more and more money. The U.S. hasn’t been doing that. It’s all those other countries who have let it go on for so long.
So, why should the U.S. have to “bail out” the rest of the world, all those other countries who have let this go on for so long, on “their own watch” all this time? I say, no — let them take care of it.
Get the U.S. out of there, unless those other countries come to us and ask us to help them — and then, they also agree to pay our bills for doing so.
If they don’t want to do that — then they can do it themselves, since they’ve ignored this problem for so long...

The United States is the undeclared police organization of the world. We may not like it but it is fact. When we get the hostage back, we need to erase a couple of pirate villages. We know where they live. We should have wiped them out long ago.
That said; if Somalia needs 'donations'; rather than our delivering them; let them come get it. . .until they get control of the piracy; by means, where a 'Justice' prevails; that is. . .
This was the opportunity to open fire on the pirates and snatch the Captain.....he was ready, the Navy was not.
I'm not necessarily blaming the Navy, they probably have orders from Obamaland not to shoot. Which, ironically, may end up costing Phillips his life.
