To all you armchair quarterbacks, what would you do? To all those who think we should just bomb Somalia, you do realize the captain will die? They (the FBI and the US Navy) are trying to keep the captain alive. It is good Obambi keeps his mouth shut, for once hes doing something right. He can only make things worse by mouthing off. There is no effective government in Somalia to deal with.
This could have happened days ago.
1) US Navy Seal Team in the water, at night.
2) 4 dead 'skinnys' with throats slashed before they know their dead.
3) Lone hostage rescued and crisis ended.
How's that work for you?

I don’t think your plan will work. Have you seen pics of that style lifeboat? Totally encapsulated to be seaworthy in the worst weather. It looks like a giant lozenge with only one hatch for entry/exit. You can’t see into it, so you couldn’t tell who’s who, even with infra red. I don’t think a half dozen “frogmen” are gonna pop outa the water and slit any throats. One or two would have to somehow open the hatch from outside, and either climb in and start shooting, or just open the hatch and shoot in. Neither way has much of a safety factor for the hostage. Now if you could get a flash-bang in, some time might be gained. But, again, the hatch is kinda high up on the enclosed side of the life boat. They’re gonna hear anyone coming on board.

How about this...
Tell the cowardly pirates:
“No deal. You release the hostage now. If you kill the American hostage and we bomb the schiese out of their hometown where their relatives live (an eye for an eye).”
There has to be some higher bargaining chip we can use.
