“President Barack Obama’s chief spokesman said the White House was assessing a course of action.”

Don’t waste your time on him, just post something about Obamas birth certificate elsewhere and that will send him off like a Labrador towards a Frisbee.

Rush just verified that the crew has indeed regained control. No need for apology.

Pentagon reported.

There’s only one thing to do with a pirate - if you don’t throw him overboard to the sharks, HANG THE B@ST@RD.

I was thinking more a half ounce of lead in the head... then throw them overboard.
But you're right, rope is cheaper.

Dealing with piracy in the old way evolved over thousands of years, was simple, final and the recidivism rate was zero.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

With profound apologies to the ACLU, the internationalist human "rights" groups and other mental deficients.

Actually MSNBC just had a talking head on telling how these pirates are actually “just fishermen” looking for targets of opportunity. Guess they picked the wrong target. LMAO.

No words to eat... you read that wrong what I said. I said there was no link for the story, there was no confirmation, and later there was a link to a 2007 story, and it did appear to be a hoax. All those things were true. I stand by those things that were said then.

If now, there are links to stories that give some details, I’ll be reading those...

PROUD American moment because they did not wait or ask Hussein to save them!
Totus was still trying to decide whether to apologize or pay ransom.
