If the waters are quiet, a SEAL team should quietly swim up at night and kill the pirates holding the captian.
We can expect the libscum crowd to hold candle light vigils for the pirates (just like they did for the mass murdering rampaging rapist of a 12 year old), but who really cares?

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the government was following the situation very closely and urged the world to act to end the "scourge" of piracy. Elections have consequences.

...I cannot believe the amount of coverage this is getting, and what it says about the state of our country. Just a few months back we were engaged in a global struggle against jihadists and rogue nations, America was strong and independent with a commander-in-chief who made it clear that you were either with the forces of liberty and goodness or against them. Now we have a 'president' that bows to the degenerate Saudi king, have no response to weapons tests by rogue regimes or communist coups in former Soviet satellites, are setting our enemies free and discussing overseas contingency operations for man-caused disasters while remaining glued to reports about a single U.S. destroyer about to engage a rowboat full of illiterate Somali 'pirates'...
wake me up when it's all over

If the waters are quiet, a SEAL team should quietly swim up at night and kill the pirates holding the captian. I was thinking the same thing. Have a sub hover just below the surface and launch a seal team at night. Waste the pirates then torpedo the mother ship.

The Clintonistas gave us WTC1; East African Bombings, USS Cole and gave us “The Path To 9/11” Now HRC with BHO will charter another path to disaster.

I hope and pray this turns out ok. I don’t have confidence in the Obama administration to deal with foreign crises. Remember Joe Biden said Obama would be tested?
I have no confidence in Obama, but I do hope I’m wrong.

My only hope is that zero is too distracted with his Wed night cocain bash to restrict the captain on scene’s orders, and the captain takes care of business...

We could sink every one of these “mother ships” before breakfast one fine morning if we so chose. I wonder why we don’t? Even if some of them are posing as “fishermen”, it ought to be child’s play to shadow major ports with a few of our attack subs, follow the big boats out to sea, wait for them to play their hand, and then turn every last one of them into chum.

I wonder why we dont? Every great president has had his War. Maybe Obamarama will have his War with the Pirates so he can be Great too.

That would involve killing islamists. Zero won’t go there. Instead, he’ll find a way to kill Christians or (try) Jews ala Clinton bombing Christian Serbs to help islamists crack Yugoslavia apart. Not kidding.

That would involve killing islamists. Zero wont go there. He can demonize and then target those few pesky Arab Christians for his great war. That way he will accomplish something President Bush couldn't do, gain the support of the majority islamic slim.
