It’s enough to kill pirates on the high seas. They will keep coming back. Entire pirate villages need to be carpet bombed.

Obama wants to reduce our nuclear arsenal. I would suggest dropping one on Mogadishu and the pirate’s port cities would help him with his plan...and the fact that the fallout will rain upon the Saudi Red Sea coast would be a benefit to the rest of the world.

Oops.. I meant it’s NOT enough to keep pirates on high seas..

There are lots of good places to drop nukes on around the world. In fact I could probably name more places than there are nukes in our arsenal - which means we will have to be judicious in our choice of targets !

I’m not sure the Romans wouldn’t have crucified pirates. A long row of pirates writhing on crosses in the hot sun along a Somali highway would have a salutary effect upon the local populace.

Never send an FBI agent to do a seals Job,
why not let a seal cause their boat to leak/sink necessitating a rescue from a captured friendly craft we’ve captured?

They hang pirates don’t they?

Obama will take the strongest action possible in the World Court in Brussels. He may even ask for a restraing order.
