“Hundreds of American citizens are spending a second night in Tripoli aboard the Maria Dolores”
A target it sounds like for a dying regime to strike at.

Just a guess... based on the reasons liberals typically do things:
Is the owner of the Maria Dalores an Obama campaign donor?

I think they are hostages and they won’t tell us.

Greece is flat ass broke and they can wrangle up the necessary ship to save their folk. Amatures!

A target it sounds like for a dying regime to strike at. If they were in danger, the captain would have left.

I bet its a “green” boat. Environmentally friendly and all that.

Mr 0bama? I’d like to introduce you to Sixth Fleet. Sixth Fleet, meet your Commander in Chief. Stop snickering.
To: Nachum
Or said another way... the Greeks sailed regardless of conditions, when prudence may have dictated the exercise of caution.
For that catamaran to be moored due to sea conditions, I think it’s fair to assume that the water was something more than merely “choppy”. Those ships can handle some fairly rough seas. What sort of weather and seas are we talking about here?

Their union may require them to use the Maria Dolores, eh?

Why did U.S. use a catamaran that can't sail in rough seas to evacuate? Because 'someone' was hoping they would all drown.

I’ve sailed the Med in a Knox class frigate (4000+ ton loaded) during February. The seas were the roughest I’ve encountered.
