We have the strongest navy in the world with the best fighting forces and we let these pissants run all over us.

First response will probably be Obama apologizing for those americans being there.

IMO the people in the sail boat should have known better than to sail in pirate infested waters. Its not like everyone in the western world doesn't know about the pirates. Now the taxpayers are going to have to bail the people out of the trouble they've gotten themselves into. If they are rescured by the Navy, I hope they get a bill for it.

I can't believe someone hasn't set up an escort service for shipping out there. A few boats, a few RPG's and machineguns...... Hell, you could probably charge people to act as gunners on the damn things.

Stupid should hurt. Those people should have expected to be hijacked.

I like the way the Ruskies deal with em!

If you remember, when the Maerske Alabama(spelling?) was hijacked not much was said about the navy doing anything until 3 pirate skulls were ventilated by some navy sharp shooters.

It'd be like me walking to the "hood" and being surprised when I got my arse beat and/or got killed. Makes no sense for people to wander so close to danger and people be surprised when they are kidnapped. Must be the primary source of income over there...

Doesnt change the fact that scum like that has no place on Earth and should be shot on sight.

Very true, but since, for the most part, we cannot change that....we have to live with it :glare:

California liberals looking for their 15 minutes of fame and publicity.... Any idiot that would purposely sail into those waters deserves whatever happens.

I have heard that the stove is hot when turned on, anyone know for sure?????
