President Barack Obama promised Monday to work with other nations “to halt the rise of piracy,”

To hell with other nations! Can’t he say: “America will never accept a threat on any American anywhere in the world because a threat against one is a threat against all?”...

Headline is WRONG. Obama pledged to fight PRIVACY.

Obama: Fighting 'rise of privacy' (piracy) (Yet another Obama gaffe) (Chicago Tribune April 13, 2009 12:15 PM by Mark Silva)

"And I want to be very clear that we are resolved to halt the rise of privacy in that region...."

“Work with other nations” = I’m not sticking my neck out but voting ‘present.” “Halt the rise of piracy” = Bush’s fault.

If the crew fought off the pirates for 3 hours with firehoses, wouldn’t it have been far more effective to dip the hose intake in the fuel tanks and hose the bad guys down with fuel?

The Somali ACORN cell is promising them nationalized health care and low income housing if they will lay down their arms and become welfare dependent.

"President Barack Obama promised Monday to work with other nations "to halt the rise of piracy," while Somali pirates vowed revenge"

Bah-HAHAHAHA!

Obama has already showed the "pirates" just how good he is at getting other nations to co-operate with him. This is a "coded" message from Obama to the pirates saying "the open sea is your oyster, pluck it". The pirates will just avoid American ships, which will make Obama powerless to do anything.

while Somali pirates vowed revenge for the deaths of three colleagues shot by snipers during the daring high-seas rescue of an American sea captain.

This is the only real news in the article.
Assuming the pirates who "vowed revenge" can be identified, the results of intiminadion should be brought home to them ASAP.

If it's war they want...

Better have Hillary pack her pants suits and go a negotiating in Somalia.
