I’m with you in thinking the pirates are organized with excellent leadership. I am still wondering why a couple of snipers on our war ship didn’t take out the pirates in the life raft before this!!!! What in the hell are hillary and zero doing for crying out loud?!!! [rant over]

It isn't a raft. It is a covered pod.

What are they doing? Making announcements about the seal hunts.

If there were little Christian children being held hostage they’d send in Janet Reno

Giggling on the White House playground.

What a mind boggling image of wimpyness to send to the world.
No wonder the Somalis are unmoved by the presence of naval might.
“ We are safe and we are not afraid of the Americans,” one of the pirates,...., said via satellite phone, “

Barry should just put on a diaper and suck on a pacifier when he hosts the Easter egg hunt for gay, lesbian and transgender families.

There are no snipers or sniper weapons on either a DDG or FFG.

When the LHD arrives, then arrives the capability to do whatever they want, inclusive of taking out the pirate bases ashore.

The navy vessels are standing down so far away from the lifeboat that they’re using a drone to keep close watch.

I believe the raft is enclosed.

‘life raft’ is misleading...it’s one of those pod-style lifeboats, so you can’t get a clear shot, I imagine.

In the life raft? I can’t believe how uninformed and idiotic some FReepers can be. It isn’t a life raft. It is a standard escape boat that is on container ships. How about looking of a picture of it and seeing why it would be much harder to deal with than an open top boat.
