Really pushing the envelope here.
Or maybe not...
when will we finally blow these people out of the water?
Wonder how the Italians will handle it?
Italian flagged, with an Italian crew—not our problem. Let the owner ask the Italian Navy for help.
Everything in the world belongs to Allah and Allah doesn't mind if true believers take it away from infidels.
Taking this one step further, if Obama attacks the pirates, he is insulting islam and the Prophet's example.
But seriously, there is no reason for this to have gone on so long.
Americans are being targeted, and Obama orders a pizza.
The free for all has begun.
Maybe it’s time for shipping companies to refuse to go through the Suez canal until the situation is dealt with. Sure its expensive but I suspect it will become effective in a hurry.
I am fast becoming a believer and supporter of ethnic cleansing.
Clearly, some folks simply NEED to be killed.
Time it is for the Western world to realize that it is they who carry many of these nationals. These whole countries included. Yet, having contributed in foreign aid and these well meaning do good people - who go there to "help", these parasites want more.
We will wait and see if the Italian Prime Minister is made of sterner stuff. Prayers for the absolute success of the US navy and auxiliaries. Someone has to get nasty here, very nasty.
Basically, Obama is keeping RADIO SILENCE on this story! (Not so different from FDR. Where the famous WW2 poster said: LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS.)
But I read a little blurb, where family members of the 20 M-Alabama crew “got to call home.” Now that the ship left Captain Phillips in the water in the Indian Ocean. Surrounded by America’s mighty US fleet. And, with the FBI (allowed by Congress), to intervene in all INTERNATIONAL cases, that involve American hostages.)
No news doesn’t mean bad news.
As a matter of fact, the M-Alabama has NAVY SEALS on board. The ship is being sailed with Navy Seals in charge. And, the little bit that leaked out? Came because family members received calls from the crew.
Just because Obama speaks softly, doesn’t mean he doesn’t carry Teddy Roosevelt’s BIG STICK. Is it possible today’s republicans forgot that Teddy was a republican? (Of course, he got disgusted with Taft. And, ran against his own party as a Bull Moose.) He failed, then to establish a better GOP.
I’ll bet we have American talent that can come to a good conclusion, here, with the Somalis will learn “not to board” American vessels to take hostages for ransom.
The Israeli ZIM LINE ship that escaped from Somali hands did so because the crew had stretched BARBED WIRE ALL ACROSS THE DECK. SO the Somalis had no choice but to “climb down.”
Perhaps, there’s more than one way to skin this cat?
The Italians will know how to deal with the Somalis since they used to own them.
THIS IS BLACKBEARD THE PIRATE AFTER
COULD RACE, COLOR OR RELIGION BE PLAYING A ROLE IN THE CHANGE IN BEHAVIOR TOWARD THE POOR, DESPERATE, MISUNDERSTOOD MUSLIM SOMALI PIRATES??
PERISH THE THOUGHT!!
Funny, has CNN even reported this yet. And will someone on the news please call the pirates by their appropriate title: Muzzies.
