I never could have imagined that testing his mettle would involve Somalian pirates in small boatcrafts.
The ship was never “hijacked”. Please read the news article before posting.
The pirates arrrrrrrr slow learners.
If Bill Clinton would have finished the job with Somalia, rather than turning tail and running away from that festering rathole which has now become an international threat.
How do these pirates get aboard anyway...I mean, you’re a huge tanker and you’re underway. Do these ships stop and wait to be boarded for fear of taking small arms fire? I sure as hell wouldn’t...I’d go full steam ahead.

Are you telling me that 3 bullets and hours of rhetoric did not dissuade the Pirates of Penzance from continuing their lucrative career?

Change is coming (in 2010) - Stop drinking the Kool Aid and have a Tea Party! Hail to the THIEF!
If I were President I would recommission one of the Iowa class battleships, send it to the coast of Somalia fully armed with a big banner hanging from the side of the hull with the message “TRY TO HIJACK THIS COWARDS”!. I wonder how brave these so called pirates would be staring down the barrels of nine sixteen inch guns.
someone let those pirates know that bullet holes leak
