Send her majesty Pelosi to negotiate or, in fact, trade Pelosi for the ship’s captain. It’s my guess, the pirates wouldn’t want her any more than we do.

Issue a very harshly worded statement to the press via the Teleprompter. That’ll do it.

The bad guys know we have a muzzie apologist and weak sister as POTUS.

“This is going to have to be something that is addressed broadly by the international community,” Whitman said, “It’s going to have to be addressed diplomatically, militarily (and) legally.”

Diplomatically?? Are the pirates going to have a seat at the UN table?

Administration faces pirate-attack decisions

Yeah, Obama can't have rogue pirates taking things away from Americans. That's his job.

Will someone PLEASE tell me that this Whitman guy is NOT an ADMIRAL or MILITARY person “spokesman from the Pentagon”
That would be too much to bear.
Treat with PIRATES legally?

(Piracy)”...is not going to be something that is solved in a purely military way or in international waters.”

I agree with the part about international waters.

No problem—that’s why 0 is out on the campaign trail for 2012. He’ll just say it’s tough to be president and leave the pirates to do what they will.
