the larger transport ships are blancing speed with cost . the cruise ships have a willing customer to pay the bill. Take a cruise and see how much fuel they burn . 1000's of gallons
If ya can see it ya can hit it !

French commandos (yes, that's right French) rescued 3 Frenchmen being held captive by Somali pirates this past September.   Unfortunately a fourth captive was killed during the rescue. 

So it would seem even the French have more 'nads than our newly elected messiah. 

We have been affectingly neutered not by another super power mind you but by a rag tag band of third world pirates in row boats.

I was just looking at some of the news bits.  Apparently these bozo's have called for reinforcements from some of the other? hijacked ships in the area?  Wanna bet that:

A) NO ONE makes any attempt to intercept.

B) NO ONE will stop them from linking up and consolidating the hostages.

C) The presidant is taking it all under advisement...

By the way.  The top news story I saw, was Shawn Johnson's dress on DWTS...
If I agreed with you then we would both be wrong.

On the 10th the Somalians in the 28 ft life raft fell asleep. The captured Captain jumped overboard and tried to swim to the Navy ship 1 mile away. The smallies woke up and started firing on their captive. He would not return (to valuable to kill, most likely warning shots) so one jumped in and drug him back aboard the pirates' boat. Would have been a great time to blow up the life boat, if the guy calling the shots had any stones there would have been an order for the forces present to use their own discretion in dealing with the matter if an opportunity presented itself.

Would this not be a simple mission for the Seals? At night swim the mile use a rebreather that doesn't produce bubbles. Pop up and eliminate the skinnies. I can understand a little boat bouncing around in the ocean wouldn't be very good for a sniper. But come on a Seal team against smallies in a life raft?

I ahve a feeling the Navy would sink the boat after BHO got on there with his fellow muslims.
99% of all Lawyers give the other 1% a bad name. What I find hilarious about this is they are such an arrogant bunch, that they all think they are in the 1%.

I think it is a good trade also... And they can keep him. He can become King of Semolina. His Muslim brothers in arms.

HEH. Good idea but it won't happen. Those pirates aren't about to trade down, the captains worth more than osama. POWDERMAN.  ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

If he becomes king would he expect the next President to bow to him?

Last I read that the negotiations( what a concept when dealing with pirates) have broken down. A small US vessel approaching the lifeboat turned around after the pirates fired warning shots into the air. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. ::)


If I was a betting guy I would bet on the pirates getting their free conduct and the money,dunno about the hostage.  Long live Piracy !!

As of 12-04-09 The Captain is freed that Pirates are dead( 3 of them anyway) and I am happy to have been wrong ;D
