Fresnel I'm far more rage'd out over another ******** coming from the Obamanation. From a Department of Homeland Security report: Quote: The return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks ... Returning veterans possess combat skills and experience that are attractive to right-wing extremists,” it says. “DHS/I&A is concerned that right-wing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize veterans in order to boost their violent capacities
Ah, well that's great. We've got people in the government calling our Veterans baby killers. Fantastic.
Make the biggest sacrifice, make the biggest gamble and the ******** back home will treat you like s**t.

Floyd There is a very thin tightrope that every president dating back to Teddy Roosevelt had to walk. Do we just kill any and all comers involved in piracy and hope they get the idea it isn't worth bothering US flag bearing ships, or do we let the ship owners try and buy their way out as they have for most of the last 100 years. There is no doubt that people should be angry. But this anger should be leveled against a nation that harbors such people. Just as we are trying to find what's left of Bin Laden's followers in the borderlands of Afghanistan, we should sweep the coasts of Northeast Africa and make damn sure the locals get the picture. The era of piracy is over. This path leads to death and poverty. I've also wondered why the ship owners don't bother to field their own paramilitary naval attack crafts, similar to what our Navy SEALs use for their missions? There must be thousands of qualified ex-military personal who would love a crack at this job! I agree with killing pirates of any nation, be it Somalia, US, or any other. The thing with Somalia is that they have no real government and it looks like it will stay that way for quite some time. As for attack craft and arms, other countries are paranoid that the ship can launch a minor attack against them. I would love to see basic weapons training on the class schedule though...

I'm wondering why these people don't arm themselves when they're on these boats. One or two paramilitary-trained shiphands could EASILY repel Somalian ******** if they shoot anything like Liberians (and I bet they do).

Though to be honest I did wonder why they didn't nuke the boat the moment he began swimming. Yeah, i know, the only plausabile reason would be they had orders not to fire? And that makes you wonder where that order came from.
