[Keith in Iowa]

Let the Brits use the Greanpeace boat for target practice.

[SouthernFreebird]

inflatable motor boats against a freighter?...... I think this can be resolved quickly.

[MadIvan]

Blow them out of the water.

Wasn't it the French who sunk the Rainbow Warrior back in the 80s, I think? I don't think these lame brains really want to screw around with the Brits. They are much more aggressive than the French.

[EternalVigilance]

Enemy combatants. They should be treated accordingly.

Their website says one of their goals is to bring about: "An end to the nuclear threat and nuclear contamination." The U.S. and allies are simply trying to aid Greenpeace in that effort. Sheesh....a little help here...

[Bluntpoint]

Somebody needs to grab a porpoise, hold a gun to its head and threaten to "cap his ass" if the Greenpeace ship does not give way.

[IronJack]

Wasn't it the French who sunk the Rainbow Warrior back in the 80s

Yep. About the only thing courageous the French have done in half a century. Technically, this ship should be called Rainbow Warrior II, since Warrior I is now a reef.

Enemy combatants. They should be treated accordingly

I'm sure there's room for them at our country club in Cuba.

"We are currently having a peaceful blockade of the Dart 8 cargo vessel,..."

And then:

She said the group had inflatable motorboats in the water around the freighter,

The solution to the problem is so screamingly obvious, it's almost painful.

[justrepublican]

Little floating green pieces.

The Ministry of Defense failed on Friday to get an injunction stopping Greenpeace from blocking the port but did obtain a limited ruling preventing the activists from boarding or touching ships chartered to carry military supplies.

Whaaaat? A court would not agree that it's actually a bad thing to let civilians, most of whom are foreigners, blockade a port?

Shoot, it's even contrary to international law to blockade a port, unless one is at war with the nation the port is located in. Is the court saying that Greenpeace is at war with Britain?

She said the group had inflatable motorboats in the water around the freighter

screaming obvious? Well, as a qualifed Helms/Planesman...the order "HARD right rudder" comes to mind! hehehehehe

[Smile-n-Win]

Is the court saying that Greenpeace is at war with Britain?

Hmm, well they actually are at war with Britain, so they may legally blockade the port--and the British may legally shoot them, of course.

[southland]

Send them to North Korea until they can resolve that problem.

[lysie]

Blow them out of the water.

I like your style. Only one thing I could add,

After blowing them out of the water...put them back in, then blow them out again.

THIS morning I am NOT in the mood!!

[SandRat]

Like your idea but may a suggest a slight modification? Do it off the great barrier reef of Australia. Hey even the Great-Whites have to eat.

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

Grab these SOBs and beat hell out of them!TERRORIST SYMPATHIZERS.

[lysie]

Hey even the Great-Whites have to eat.

Great idea. Kind of like biting the hand that feeds them.
