That’s spare change for Obama. He’ll pay and deny it...

This thing needs to end with dead pirates. Giving in will ensure more pirate attacks.

I’d say they can find a few presses, that have been busy printing, and throw this rascals some cash...I wouldn’t see anything out of character for them to PAY...they have paid and bailed everyone else out, why not bail out the Captain?

Tell them to start a bank, we’ll give them a trillion.

Still, a nuclear barrage along the shoreline would go a long way toward convincing these pukes there’s no there, there!

And he'll thank them for their votes.

Maybe should explain that if they don’t release the captain, they will be blasted. If they kill the captain they will be blasted. So better to let him go NOW! Unharmed too!

Barry will pay double if he can, because he wants to waste as much money as possible while looking bad. The media will cheer.

At this point, the only thing to do.

In fact, pay them for ALL the hostages.

And then let loose the Dogs of War.

But I bet they’re too smart to take TARP funds! The fact that Hussein will not double cross these thugs and kill them at the first available moment is a disgrace.

Give them 2 million rounds and then charge their families for it.

That's been my thought all along. No ports. No pirates. It seems a simple equation to me.

Why is the Navy not jamming the cell phone signals. If they cannot communicate, it will be much more difficult to get help from the shore. There should be some kind of signal jamming that we can do. I swear that this country is being run by idiots.

Probably. He will then tell him how to captain a ship. Never mind that payment will make everyone else less safe.

I would not be surprised to hear that tonight (and it is night there already) that a team of SEALS came up from underneath the boat and took the pirates down.

I hope that occurs and that the brave captain is saved.

We could also use non-lethal weaponry from a distance to incapacitate everyone in the boat if it has been delivered to one of our vessels on the scene...also likely to occur at night.

IMHO, we can not...and must not...allow another large vessel that the pirates have taken, with hostages from another nation, to approach close to the location of this situation before acting.

Once we resolve this issue, we should come down on every possible location these pirates are located like a ton of bricks and end this decisively, annihilating any of these pirate bands and those who support them.

2 Million in US dollars?

Ask ‘em if they can wait until the new global currency
is established, it'll be stronger.
