The Blue Water Rally really ought to avoid being anywhere near this region!

This California couple, if they survive, will have learned a painful life lesson.

Call out the SEAL snipers!

I dunno.  I guess they're idiots.  Or the GPS is on the fritz and the charts blew over-board...or they've been living under a rock for years...

No, must be idiots.

His buddy was interviewed on the news tonight.
He says: [before the trip] We were trying to decide what [parameters] to use to make the decision whether to take that route or not.

WTF?

What are the [parameters] to help make the decision whether to dance with pirates. Know that piece of information and you need to know no more.

Yes, they are I D I O T S.

That's a steep price to pay for an obvious navigational error in judgement, but that in no way shape or form exonerates this filthy scum commiting atrocity on the high seas!  The other lesson to be learned here, screw negotiations with this filth, just kill them on sight!  Send their vessels to the depths on sight!  This scum holds itself apart from the rest of humanity, time to start treating them accordingly!

Once upon a time, we knew what to do about these scum and that put an effective end to their predations for a long time.

Now, not so much .....

Today it feels like the whole world is falling to sh*t.

A President with balls would carpet bomb the Somali capital and announce publicly that every act of piracy will be followed by the same. Force them to eat their own vomit if that's what it takes to clean it up.

As far as I'm concerned the lives of four American citizens are worth the entire Somali population.

If that nation was scrubbed of every last microbe, it would have to be seen as a positive step forward for the human race.

It would have been better to die from an American bullet trying to rescue me than at the hands of terrorist pirates.

Shoot the captives and leave them there for their friends to find as a warning.

And now some 13 of the pirates are in "custody". I guess that means we'll get to give them daily three hot meals (Halal-approved), Korans, prayer rugs, and so on.

They need to be summarily executed for piracy on the High Seas and consigned to the sharks and scavengers.

Look on utube and find out how Russians deal with these scum. I watched the video, taken by a Russian sailor, It shows how the Russian patrol boat comes upon a small boat that claims that they are just fishermen. Once boarded, the russians find a large stash of weapons, including RPG's and explosives. then follow them to the mother ship, which is larger and find more weapons. So, what do the russians do?, they handcuff the pirates to their ship, plant it full of explosives, then leave them to be blown out of the water, pirates and all. Obviously, russian ships are never bothered again.
What do we do?

The left keeps telling us we can learn from other countries.  I'd say Russia's demonstration is one good example to follow.  ;D

Maybe I am biased, but I still like my keel-hauling idea!  But I understand that not everyone is as willing to go to that length, but whacking them in the most expeditious manner possible and in a manner that ensures the safety of our people would be greatly appreciated and I think prove to be the most effective method in dealing with this ilk.

I like the idea of shark fishing with live bait.
