Will there be outrage this week?
Pirates have taken a US flagship hostage with Americans aboard.
So far, all I have heard from Bummy is he is taking a laid back day today.
Huh?
American citizens captured by pirates, and the CNC is resting????
Congress is on spring break????
Considering all the outrage over legal bonuses being paid, after being specifically authorized by congress and approved by the prez...over an amount much less than one called "chump change" by a US senator, one would think that there would some sort of response from Washington.
Or is Bummy just bowing again?

Local radio reporting the crew overpowered the pirates and threw three of them overboard! 300 miles out to sea, thrown off a very high ship......Woo Hoo.
This is the "who and when to kill method" in action.
Hereafter known as WTKAW, for 46's convenience.

IMO
I just saw a CNN vidoe (live) of the head of the ship company- one iof thodr erky-jerky freeze frams stupid videos. How come I could watch the 1969 1st moon landing (If that was real!) but not a decent broadcast from earth?
Unfortunately the answer to piracy, keeping kids safe, and local crime is do it yourself!
I do not believe in irresponsible people carrying around handguns 24/7, but we need a much more extensive and liberal definitioin of "justifiable homicide".

Three overboard and one in custody.
This is a good opportunity for torture, huh?
Find out where the mother ship is, who they work for, whatever we need to blow them out of the water immediately?
I can't think of thing I would not do to the one we caught. We know he is guilty, we might get some useful intel, we might not. Who cares what happens to the scum bag who hijacked relief supplies for people in dire need?
Is there a form of life lower than this garbage? Squeeze his lemons dry and take what we can get.
The only proper response to piracy is death.
Torture has it's place. THIP, 46, THIP.

Got it back
Tune to Fox News.We have the ship back.All the crewmen are Americans and were trained in anti pirate tactics.Our next step should be to strike at the the pirate bases and ports.Remember history?We went through this in 1800-1805 with the Tripoli pirates.The response of the nation then was,"Millions for defense,not one penny for tribute".We hit the pirate base hard and the piracy ceased.Do not expect the Obama admininstrtion to react in that manner.

He'll probably have to check and see if they're muslims first.

Today, it is "We're sorry."
Sort of plays out nicely next to news stories of Obama apologizing for everything and cutting back military spending.
Russia, China, military build ups, Iran and N Korea collaborating on nukes and missiles......... and us backing off. Amazing.

Tom-you don't really expect BO to do anything do you?
He is busy flying around the world on our nickel. Why are you screwing up his flight plans.
I am positive that the MSM will justify this somehow. Grasshopper,...you need to learn patience.

Funny how government gets involved when they shouldn't (the economy) but when they need to step up, where are they?
I'm sure there's a number of goods that we ship to Somalia that we should completely cut off. Starvation would alter their outlook, one would think. Not fair??? Too damn bad. Police your citizens better, and crap like this would be stopped. I realize there's many innocent in Somalia who would be hurt by a food embargo, but when was life fair? THis is an outrage and I don't see anything that the Somalian government has done to stop these numerous piracies.

What Somalian government? Isn't that the problem? Looks pretty much like anarchy.
