Yes, Barry Dunham. the No Talent Pop Star pResident will just blow it off.
Take the two survivors, give them some pentothal, find out where their base is. Make the survivors into shark food. Flatten the base.
Just one problem - the hostages were not Russian. Because that would have been the Russian response.
Yes, I hate it when I have more respect for the Russians than our No Talent Pop Star pResident.
It's not like it's a secret. Drop Eyl Somalia into google earth, follow that stream bed south east a mile or two to the beach and you can even see their pirate boats.
Here's the issue, if you go to youtube, you can see video of the pirate base, and it's LOUSY with kids (future pirates). Now, you and I might not have any problem with nipping that problem in the bud by turning the entire joint into a glass parking lot, but you KNOW what kind of wailing and gnashing of teeth the emotionally driven folks all over the west will unleash. "Oh, we're just creating future pirates!"
