Yes it is. And it's frustrating that it was so close to the American Navy's 6th fleet.

[SHOWBOAT]

very suprising. Not only does that limit ability to collect ransom, but they just killed US civilians which is much different than a commercial vessel. We'll see how this plays out.

[Sir reel]

Showboat, I don't think it intimidates them at all. As of today...there are reportedly over 600 individuals that have been captured and being held for ransom. Our Country doesn't seem to have the same interest or willingness to get involved on behalf of US citizens in this type of circumstance like it once did. Gota play nice and use diplomacy you know...

We need to play nice and use a few MOABs on their arse

He!! Yeah!!

[fishinfool]

MOAB sounds good. Perpetrating an attack on the high seas leaves you open to retaliation. It does not matter from who or where. It is much like the old west style of justice. That means you do not have to play nice!

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM THE LEADERSHIP THAT WE HAVE. WE NEED TO LET SOME LEAD FLY AND COME ON TARGET. KILL 4-500 OF THOS PIRATES AND ALL THIS MESS WILL STOP. FORCE IS THE ONLY LANGUAGE THOSE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND, IT IS TIME TO QUIT BEING POLITICALY CORRECT AND SOLVE THE PROBLEM

This is a shame. But if I go into the woods where I know bears live and have known to kill people before and I get killed, is it my fault or the bear's? Not trying to make light of this, but just wondering what they were doing there.

[RayMalloy]

You only have two choices with Pirates; Avoid them or Kill them. It appears that the avoidance strategy does not work.

On their way to deliver more Bibles to remote areas.
So far as the pirates are concerned,research indicates the piracy started about 1990.
Initially is was deemed as a justification for income because of foreign fishing vessels depleting their fish stocks.
Also foreign vessels dumping hazardous waste further destroying their ocean eco-system.
However,the evolution of the pirates indicate most are teenagers that never fished in the first place.
Their "booty" is being spent on alcohol,prostitutes,drugs,flashy cars and massive houses.
Somalia lacks a formal government and is controlled by regional warlords.
The weapons and ordinance are coming from Yemen and Jordan and are Russian made.

Because much of the Somalia claimed ocean is more heavily patrolled by U.N. naval forces,the pirates are venturing well outside their area to continue the plunder.
To me this removes any supposed justification for damage to sovereign waters.

[What a mess]

Kill 100 pirates for each and ask them if they wanna go again sometime.

[MudDucker]

Its time to send some special ops ashore and let the pirate population awake one morning to about 100 gaping neck wounds and a warning note!
