An Air Force fighter pilot makes “ace” with five kills. I hope our snipers will continue making progress toward the equivalent goal. So many pirates; so little time.

Did The One really think this would only happen once, especially given the fact he is promising the captured pirate a life like he has never known (air conditioned, 3-meals a day, clean sheets, TV, etc).
Until The One goes after the pirates and attacks them relentlessly on land, this will never end. Just use airpower, like Clinton, make the rocks bounce, there are no innocent people in areas controlled by the pirates.
Of course, if this reported hijacking is false, then well. . . .just do it anyway as a message to those that would attack America.

Does anyone know why ships like this cannot be armed? I can't imagine there is a good reason -- but there must be some crazy reason of some kind.
Personally, I think some unemployed good ol' boys could be convinced to hitch a ride and provide adequate protection without a lot of fuss.

Nothing in the left’s ‘hate Amerika’ ideology has prepared them to deal with the real world.
In the real world, there are genuine bad guys, who have to be met with force, not “can’t we all just get along” dialog.
Welcome to a reality check.

“A U.S. ship carrying food aid foiled an attack by Somali pirates this morning, the latest known attempted hijack by pirates who continue to thumb their noses at the world. U.S. officials told ABC News that the Liberty Sun evaded the pirates’ attack off the coast of Somalia. The ship is said to be heading to its port destination of Mombassa. The Navy responded to a call for help by the Liberty Sun, which is carrying food aid for CARE and the World Food Programme.”

The One is being tested, as promised. He’s 1 for 2, did ok on the Phillips hijacking but failed with North Korea.
