"Ten pirates released from a Russian warship 300 miles out to sea may have drowned, according to Russian officials and colleagues of the pirates, raising fears of retaliation against other vessels plying East African waters.

The pirates were captured last week after they hijacked the Moscow University, a Liberian-flagged, Russian-operated oil tanker sailing off the Somali coast. A Russian warship came to the ship's rescue and apprehended the pirates. But after determining it would be too difficult to obtain a conviction, Russian officials said that they dropped plans to take the pirates to Moscow for trial."


Welp, what's the odds we don't see quite that many pirates, Lately, anyhow?

Pirate Catching Ship
I started a thread with this - I should have posted it here !!

PA, feel free to delete the thread starter.



This new Navy ship, the U.S.S. Independence is a tri- maran capable of doing 43 knots. It can literally turn on a dime, is heavily armed and armored, can land and carry a helicopter, sweep for mines and launch torpedos.

Built by General Dynamics, there are 55 more on order.

The Russians had the stones to shoot the sob's, something that the rest of the world should have been doing all along. That and striking at their safe haven ports. But wait, according to the sob sisters, those pirates are just poor underpriviledged Muslim boys forced into piracy by poverty. According to that twisted logic, it would be cruel and inhumane to blow up their new mansions and new luxury cars and force them to earn an honest living.

Ah, a challenge.....

Where have all the pirates gone, Long time passing.
Where have all the pirates gone, Long time ago.
Where have all the pirates gone, Russians drowned them, everyone.
Too bad they could not swin, Too bad they could not swim.

Where have all the Russians gone, Long time passing.
Where have all the Russians gone, Long time ago.
Where have all the Russians gone, To Somalia for more fish food.
When will they ever stop, When will they ever stop.

Where has old Somalia gone, Long time passing,
Where has old Somalia gone, Long time ago.
Where has old Somalia gone, Russians blew it to Kingdom Come,
When will WE ever learn, When will WE ever learn.

Somehow, Peter, Paul, and Tom does not sound quite right:) . However, if he can step in for the late MT he could do some good. That trio was very far left in their private and not so private lives, and Tom could bring his conservative viewpoints into play.

Hopefully, the Russkies used a traditional sea punishment like walking the plank or keel-hauling.
