Four more or is this the same four as the other thread in breaking news.
We need to bring all these pirates back to the U.S., give them a fair trial and set them on fire.
killed two pirates and captured 13 othersImamObambam will send money to the families of the 2 dead and will higher the 13 others to union organizing positions in states with Republican governors.
It’s sad that 4 American citizens being murdered will get less coverage than if we absolutely demolished any pirate boat that was found in the open sea or at port.
18 U.S. Code § 1651. Piracy under law of nations
“Whoever, on the high seas, commits the crime of piracy as defined by the law of nations, and is afterwards brought into or found in the United States, shall be imprisoned for life.”
They need to stop waiting and trying to negotiate with these crazies, just attack.
If I was on that boat, I wouldn’t want them to wait.
These people were spreading the gospel and they had bibles on board. This was more than the pirates could stand.
I need to know more, but they appear to be modern Christian martyrs.
I wonder what kind of rules of engagement orders that level of massive Naval firepower was operating under ?
Against 19 pirates.
13 pirates should be listed as KIA.
Show trials and examples made. No mercy for pirates.
“During the boarding, the Somali pirates fired on the U.S. forces, who killed two pirates and captured 13 others.”
Kill the rest of them, send their boat to the bottom and then bomb their ports on the coast.
Terrible, and also a good time to watch how our “allies” react.
Well it was a good thing that a warship was shadowing them. Imagine what would have happened if it wasn’t. /s
How long would it take the Navy to sink every boat in every Somali harbor?
During the boarding, the Somali pirates fired on the U.S. forces, who killed two pirates and captured 13 others. U.S. forces already had captured two other pirates, and the servicemembers boarding the Quest found the remains of two other pirates.
The article said there were 19 pirates - so who, pray tell, killed the 'remains of two other pirates.'
Sort of looks like possible infighting between pirates doesn't it? Since US forces responded and didn't engage an attack until fires were shot... 4 pirates dead but US taking responsibility for 2 shot....what am I missing here?
No it's not. It's the logical outcome when stupid people do really dumb things. I have no sympathy for stupid people!
Furthermore, the families of stupid people should be billed for the services of professionals who end up being dragged into their stupidity. Like the idiots who try to row across the Atlantic, or a teenage girl trying to sail around the globe solo, or mountain climbers, or north pole expeditions, etc., etc., ad nauseum.
Our taxes bail these people out. It makes me wanna puke.
Obama does nothing to help.
That should be a tagline on every failure the “IM”POTUS racks up.
Obama strikes again.
This would not have happened it Obama would allow our people to do their jobs in the manner in which they were trained.
Instead Obama and his minions impose “be nice” rules that wind up getting people killed for stupid reasons.
The Navy should have just gone in without hesitation and without worrying about injuring or killing the pirates.
4 Americans are dead; Obama’s Fault !!!
As for the Americans killed, I feel bad for the families of the Darwin Award winners. These idiots decided to yacht in a trouble area? They think their wealth protects them from reality? Sorry, too stupid for me to care about.
I care about people involved in shipping, not idiots on vanity cruises choosing to go through a pirate infested region.
