With Barry the pu$$y running things, we may have to pay reparations to the Somali Community Organizers for inconveniencing them.

I’m just a stupid citizen, but it’s beyond me why the government doesn’t dump a load of counterfeit or marked bills on these pirates.

“American Captain Richard Phillips tried to escape...”
...boy! Better not try that again or BO will instruct the pirates to shoot to kill.

Even the French have it right!
Sheesh...

Not one penny.
Offer them water and gas enough to get back to port.
Not one penny.
Better yet, have your divers drill a hole in the bottom of the boat while the loudspeakers are going. Offer them life vests in exchange for the captain.

The French take bold action to save their people while Americans stand back and beg these rag-tag ghetto trash %$#&^%*&'s for mercy.
Just let that sink in for a moment.

I don’t know why the U.S. Navy doesn’t send a squad of Navy Seals under cover of darkness to overcome these four thugs and rescue the Captain. I’m sure they are more than capable.

They are African muslims like someone else. The Saudis are the puppetmasters in the background.

Im just a stupid citizen, but its beyond me why the government doesnt dump a load of counterfeit or marked bills on these pirates. And then what? They take the marked bills back to their third world sewer and live high on the hog. The Navy should keep a ship between them and the shore and make it clear that the pirates aren't going anywhere unless the captain is released. If the captian goes free, then they go free. If the captain dies, then they die. No ransom. No bargains. Live or die, that's the only choice. Forget talk about 'bringing them to justice' because there isn't any justice in Somalia and international law about trying them is so vague as to be worthless. Make it simple enough for their 9 volt brains to comprehend. Give up the capain, and live. Kill the captain, and die. No more, no less.
To: Newfy
Actually, I agree with you. Just do it.

From what I understand they did this...but the captors believe as soon as they release the captain they will be killed.
For some reason they think if they have money on their lifeboat that the US wouldn’t blow them up anyway.
The SEALS need to deal with this...but IOTUS won’t ever let it happen.

Blow them out of the water. The captain is a casualty of war. Sad, but if you want to stop this sort of thing you can't negotiate.
Kill them and hang their corpses on polls on the Somali shore.

This is a typical Somali pirate. He wants to rob, screw, get high and then repeat the process. You cant reason with this type of critter.
