The remains of the other two Americans slain by Somali pirates have also arrived, a US Navy Central Command representative tells Santa Monica Patch.
The remains of the four Americans who were slain by Somali pirates earlier this week have arrived back in the United States, a US Navy Central Command representative told Santa Monica Patch on Friday morning. The remains had been aboard the USS Enterprise off the coast of Somalia, a U.S. Navy Central Command spokesman said Tuesday.
Meanwhile, also on Friday morning, Department of Justice spokesman Dean Boyd said, "The Justice Deptartment and the FBI continue to actively investigate and evaluate evidence regarding the killings."

Why hasnt someone gotten a missile up their ass over this? It is not unfortunate that these people died, it is criminal. The laws of the seas are pretty darned oldand none of them allow for nice treatment of pirates. Exactly. I think it was because the victims were Americans, basically; Obama doesn't give a flying-you-know what about Americans. Whatever we get at the hand of his Turd World Muslim buds, we deserve.

It took the Marines to deal with Islamic piracy before, and it will take the Marines again. But not under this America-hating loser administration.

Why is it that you can never find a Teddy Roosevelt when you need one?

First Lieutenant Presley O'Bannon led a mixed force of eight United States Marines and 500 mercenaries into Tripoli in the spring of 1805, putting an end to the Barbary pirate attacks on Americans. The artist even put a star and crescent flag into the picture, as a modern artist would for the Somali pirates. If we had a real American in our White House, we would repeat O'Bannon's action, and make sure there were no surviving pirates who would even consider attacking an American.

I’m paraphrasing, but I think Teddy Roosevelts message to the pirates was something like “24 hours: The American alive, or you dead!” The American was set free.

The captured pirates will, compared to the armpit of Somalia, live in relative luxury under US captivity. I am certain they will be given Korans and prayer rugs, halal diets as well as medical and dental care. They will also be given American lawyers and new suits of clothes for their trials. They could easily be acquitted and then would be returned to Somalia to a heroes welcome likely with with clothes and money all of this courtesy of the US taxpayers. Even if they are convicted they will again live in relative luxury compared to Somalia.
They should have been shot on the spot except for one who should have been sent back to Somalia minus genitalia.

Hillary even said it was deplorable. Well, shiver me timbers. That should strike terror in their hearts. Oh wait, they don't have any.

Our PC multicultural Navy needs revised, simple ROE (Rules of Engagement) for all Somali pirates:
1. Find ‘em.
2. Chase ‘em.
3. Sink ‘em.
4. Kill ‘em.
Keep the JAGs and lawyers ashore. Let the sharks clean up the leftovers.
