Pirates: Yacht to make landfall in Somalia (Obama surrenders; no hostage rescue)
KABC ^ | 2/20/11 | John Hartung

Posted on 02/20/2011 3:30:03 AM PST by jimbo123

Pirates are now saying the yacht hijacked from a SoCal couple will make landfall in Somalia on Sunday, which may lessen the chance of a rescue at sea.

The pirates took control of the yacht Quest on Friday in the Arabian Sea off the coast of Somalia.

The Quest belongs to Jean and Scott Adam, two members of the Del Rey Yacht Club in Marina Del Rey. The Newport Beach couple has been sailing around the world since 2004 on their yacht, posting updates on their website. The trip was part adventure, part ministry, as they handed out Bibles along the way.

Two other Americans were captured along with Jean and Scott Adams, though they have not yet been identified.

Where is the video of the Russians tying the pirates to the ship and then blowing it all up.

It does a get the message across.

Much more expedient than walking the plank.

The Russian Navy seems to know what to do. We should do likewise. I honestly can’t figure out why we tolerate this situation.

Has anyone seen the area of pirate activity? I dare say most on this thread would be similarly captured if they chose to transit the Indian ocean.

Below is an old map but it gives the general range. Currently the danger zone extends beyond Sri Lanka and to South Africa. It's pretty hard to tranist the Indian ocean without going through pirate areas.

Yeah, probably right. About staying home; naw, that ain't gonna happen. Nor will I vote absentee. Believe in walking right in to the polling booth and voting in person. Just out of curiosity, do you recommend that I vote democrat or republican?

The captives are white.
Two are women.
They are Americans.

What could possibly be more hated and despised
by the criminal Obama administration,
which ONLY feels good when defending TERRORISTS?

And now you know why this Administration has made no plans to rescue them.

The US should come to the rescue of these people, if only to make the point that we are not going to let the seas be dominated by predatory marauders.

Accomplishing that task will require more courage than our current administration possesses.

” They are guilty of stupidity but they should NOT be tortured and raped and killed by the muslim pirates for their stupidity. These 2 couples need to be saved and rescued from the Somali animals because they are Americans. “

..... so, if they have enough money, and are out on a missionary, 4 people can bring this country into a war

and by God we will chastize anyone that would think differently

Why are we not baiting these scumbag pirates and then blowing them out of the water? It would be some
good target practice and help to clean up the trash at sea.
