What about all the tankers and other commercial traffic the pirates have captured?

Sorry, if you’re an American citizen, they should be afraid to touch you.

America used to stand behind her people regardless. 'No man left behind' for civilians.

If Americans are sailing in international waters then damn right all means at our disposal should be employed to protect them. To do otherwise is craven - its what other nations do.

Apparently there is some stink that commercial carriers even for reasons of self-defense are not allowed to carry fire power, whatever it takes to blow these killers out of the water, and then go into a foreign port with their cannons.

There are FReepers on this thread that can put us up to date on this.
