Barack Obama, Eric Holder on Somali Pirates Crisis: Captain Richard Phillips Still Held -- 4.9.09
And John Bolton comments about Obama statements....and the situation....
Yeah, you mention John Bolton — and he said what is the appropriate response after this is over...
Well..., I’ve been saying all along that it would have been easy to take care of, a long time ago. The solution would have been to have military jets on call for any hijacking/piracy call. Ships normally evade the pirates for a little while, and during that time, it would easy for those jets to arrive on the scene. They can blow them out of the water in no time flat.
I really don’t know why these countries around there had not done that a long time ago. I guess no one has wanted to do anything about it before...
Maybe this particular piracy event will finally get these countries “moving”...
