WASHINGTON – Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is announcing new efforts to freeze pirate booty, part of a series of diplomatic steps by the Obama administration to fight piracy off the coast of Somalia.

Clinton said Wednesday the administration would call for immediate meetings of an international counter-piracy task force to expand current naval coordination against pirates.

The administration also will send an envoy to a Somali donors conference scheduled for next week in Brussels, and will attempt to organize meetings with officials of Somali's transitional government as well as regional leaders in Somali's semiautonomous Puntland.

We need a piracy summit.

IMHO, the phrase, “Hillary Rodham Clinton” used in conjunction with the term “booty” merits a barf alert.

[Perdogg]

In other words, we will pay them off.

"Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is announcing new efforts to freeze pirate booty"

She can show the terrorists her booty, that'll freeze 'em alright.

[DannyTN]

Obama should go meet with the pirates with no preconditions.

[HiTech RedNeck]

No fair unless pirates get a place at the table.

Anti-piracy measure:

and that will sweep the seas clean of this scourge!"

"The administration also will send an envoy to a Somali donors conference scheduled for next week in Brussels, and will attempt to organize meetings with officials of Somali's transitional government as well as regional leaders in Somali's semiautonomous Puntland."

Those Somalis are so, so, important. We'll just have to meet and talk and plead with them to stop their rude behavior towards our commercial shipping.

The only envoy we should be sending is a MOAB on the top of their primitive pea brains.

Somali's transitional government

Transitioning to what?

[telebob]

"The administration also will send an envoy to a Somali donors conference scheduled for next week in Brussels, and will attempt to organize meetings with officials of Somali's transitional government as well as regional leaders in Somali's semiautonomous Puntland."

The Obama admistration intends to give everyone a taste of US taxpayer money.

Pirates take money. Pirates continue piracy. North Korean template.

See? I could do her job...
