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.
time to tip over the boat
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.
> Barry will pay it to avoid a violence.
He will...then visit our troops in Iraq like nothing happened. “it’s all good”.
Probably. He will then tell him how to captain a ship. Never mind that payment will make everyone else less safe.
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.
Ask ‘em if they can wait until the new global currency
is established, it'll be stronger.
I would up the anti and offer the pirates their life in exchange for the captain.
No matter how this turns out before the absolute end of this, these pirates need to be vaporized at the conclusion.
If it were up to me, I’d pay the ransom and as soon as the Captain was safely away from the life raft, sink the damn thing and any other Pirate ships in the area.
I’d then unleash our Special Forces to clean out the Somali rats’ nests.
We’re not dealing with the lovable Captain Jack Sparrow here!
But that’s just me.
I think the negotiations should go something like: “Give up the captain alive and your relatives will get enough of your body parts back to have a proper burial. Harm him and they’ll just get to squeegee whatever fluids are left of you off the bottom of the boat and call it good.”
Perdicaris alive or Raisuli dead!
