I almost feel sorry for the pirates that tried to take that North Korean ship earlier in the week. Almost

Carnival Cruise Lines is totally missing a great money making opportunity. I for one would pay double for the chance to repel pirates.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

No.

[Last Dakotan]

These pirates probably aren’t wearing mascara and eye liner.

[rocksblues]

Very possible with delivery by submarine right under the pirates hull.

[Vigilanteman]

I wonder how the Royal Navy would have handled this in the days of “wooden ships and iron men?”

By an age-old solution to an age-old problem.

Bump for wifee’s wallpaper.

This is more like it

[ctdonath2]

I like the way you think.

""I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request."

[magslinger]

Good idea!

If the pirates don't kill him and he survives the SEAL raid, send him to The Hague.

Pirates=Gangstas with leaky boats.

LOL!

[chronic cough 420]

I dont think we’ll be sending our boys in to save some random nationals anytime soon. This isn’t Rambo...

[DesScorp]

No negotiations. Either they release the ship and crew, or they die.

[sheik yerbouty]

Only if the dreaded panties are placed on their heads..

[Bon mots]

Send the seals on board with night vision when the Somalis are sleeping or very tired.

Do tell.

Repel pirates off the Romantic Horn of Africa! Great sales pitch. Give the passengers plastic cutlasses and funny hats and have some ex-seals in the crew with more appropriate armament then go for a cruise past Dar Es Salaam.
