Another U.S. Ship Attacked

[Sinatra]

The US military has plenty of beef to take out these pipsqueaks. We need to address the wasps nest, not just the wasps.

Did somebody say WASP's?

That guy looks like a douchebag.

HEY!

Knock it off!!!

 

[Gunny]

What can the response be? The American Military needs to make it clear it wont tolerate the hijacking of American ships.

Don't pay the ransom money.
Send in the Seals
And why aren't these ships arming themselves????

Too simplistic. IF the pirates get a ship and crew, you can't just "send in the SEALS."

Either the nations that are under attack need to get together and burn these asshats out, or they need to train and arm the crews of the ships.

What would send a BIGGER message than the SEALS did the other day is if a crewmember opened up on one of these pirate "boats" with a .50.

What have you got against seals?

Are you one of those right-wing nutters who wants to club anything and everything! God, you people make me sick...

Seal appears quite sad all have lost faith in his ability to deal effectively with pirates...

I smell a great new James Bond coming out of this one---what a greater evil enemy than Somalian pirates

wasn't Gates Bush's guy?

I believe he is the Defense Secretary in the Obama administration.

he was appointed by bush and held over by obama.
he's one of the few appointments obama made who paid his taxes.
personally, i think he's head and shoulders above that asshat rumsfeld.

Rumsfeld was the best thing Bush had going. The fact that you spew such vile about Rumsfeld shows you have been influenced by the propaganda.

Tell me the name of any other congressmen as good as congressmen Rumsfeld.

I should go and check a bunch of your posts and find out if you post irrationally all the time before I make a judgement but what for,

Rumsfeld was smeared merely for political partisan politics.

Did you read only one sentence? I gave a couple of options. The preferred option, IMO, would be to arm the ships. I do think however, the bigger problem is the pirates themselves.

There's nothing rightwing at all about wanting to neutralize a threat. It's a tactically sound idea providing one takes the best interest of all into account.

And I have no problem with SEALS. I used to play basketball with those whacko's. Let's just say they shoot sniper rifles MUCH better.

Only if they are portrayed in the movie by blond/brown-haired, blue-eyed caucasians with beards and robes and .... oh yeah, that look's already been taken.

 

[Yurt]

let use some left wing logic:

obama attacked the pirates

the pirates have now escalated their piracy

obama has caused the escalation of piracy, anti-americanism and DEATHS!!!!!!!!!!!

i'll be up all night worrying about what you think, honest.

Just because Seal is black does NOT mean he plays basketball!!! I can't believe you could be so openly racist!

Look, if Seal wanted to take care of the pirates he could - he would snap their little piraty necks with his large Seal-like hands.

BUT, he happens to be married to a wonderful woman and giving joy to the world of music, so he can't get to every pirate at once, OK?

So cut Seal some slack!!!

Geez!

You forgot the part about American ships deserving to be attacked.

Well, the sad truth is, I really don't dislike Seal because he is black. It's moer because he won't go buy some Clearasil.

Yeah, those evil US ships. Imagine the nerve of us taking foodstuffs and medicine to Kenya.

Obama had his chance and he blew it. He bowed to the King of Slaves and than ordered the Navy to stand down untill he personally gave the order to pull the trigger. Lets hope Obama continues to behave the same way, sure americans will die but imagine how many more will die if Obama decides to go to war. Micro managing a war, bad advisors, cutting the defense budget, closing the prison camps, trying to talk them into confessing thier plans (that may actually work for Obama, he will stutter confessions out of prisoners, a worst torture than waterboarding). So if Obama continues as he is lots of americans will die but its possible Obama will kill more micro managing a war.

I am beginning to think you don't care for Mr. Obama all that much.

Or, perhaps I am mistaken?

The Liberty Sun, a U.S.-flagged cargo ship bound for Mombasa, Kenya, was attacked Tuesday by Somali pirates, according to a NATO source with direct knowledge of the matter.
Pirates attacked The Liberty Sun, a U.S.-flagged cargo ship, but were unable to board.

The pirates never made it onto the ship. The vessel is now being escorted by a coalition ship, still bound for Mombasa.

The source could provide no details on where the vessel was attacked but said it is suspected the pirates were based on a mother ship somewhere in the area.

But yet:

Defense Secretary Robert Gates says he doesn't see any immediate need to bulk up the military response to piracy on the high seas. Gates adds, however, that those decisions are being made moment by moment.

When will the Obama administration get a clue?

ROFL...That's Gates being a good soldier and touting the company line...

After all, it's not like there's a REAL reason to bulk up Naval patrols ... This is a VERY COMPLEX situation which calls for a expert level of understanding on the many various facets of all matter geo-political... LOL

My 13 year old DAUGHTER could solve this problem...

"Admiral, get your ass to the Indian Ocean and shut this crap down... You have 10 days; and if my phone rings and there's another US ship hijacked, you're fired... so name your replacement before you leave."

Your solutions sounds like a 13 years old came up with it.
