This is cool and from the LA Times no less! To hear the left wing scum vermin tell it Obama was Churchillian in his resolve to take out the pirates.

If you want to take out the pirates killing several lackeys won't do it. They will have to hit the bases hard and that will be only a deterrent. You can't eradicate a low tech activity like piracy Somali style. You can make it a scarier thing to try. Let's see if Obama does that.

IT'S A TAIL WAGES THE DOG SCENARIO

The Pirates obviously had no real intention of killing the captain. Up until this week no known hostage has ever been killed by the Somali Pirates.

They had a U.S. Navy Destroyer breathing down their back and did not act suicidal.

It seems an unnecessary escalation of an already volatile area that will now be beckoning the U.S. Navy to confront more than a few teenagers, Type 56s, and a dingy.

All for an Obama tough guy headline. He looks tough now.
