stn_sage, I have wondered about many things, look up TheOPINIONATOR, their reporting is something that most of the media dont tell us..
Why is it that there is non stop world wide Muslim violence and the media only tells us sensored bits.

We hear from people living overseas, of many horrors in different parts of the world so why doesnt the media print it???..
IF, notice that I said "IF"!!! Muslims holy books were peaceful, (and indeed the first quarter of the quran is), then Muslims world wide and their clerics, leaders and Imams would be out there stopping these horrors, instead they preach to their people to hate us, not to be friends with us unless it is for the cause of Allah, plus when their numbers have grown enough to become a force and the time is right, and the weapons have become availiable to them they are to attack and kill the infidel to make all the world for Allah..

For goodness sake everyone, read the last three quarters of the quran and others of the Muslim holy books and see for yourselves just what they have in store for us.. Our politicians are to stupid to read them so we have to become aware of our future. If our politicians did read these books we would not be in this position now.

When their warship arrives, the Russians will communicate briefly with the pirates: "Your choice, you may die running away in your little boats, or you may go down with the ship." Then they''ll fire torpedoes. Game over. Fewer pirates. Hostages considered collateral damage.

Then it''s off to the Black Sea to monitor U.S. ships supplying Georgia.

Sink the dam*n ship, and be done with it. Then start sinking every pirate boat they can find for the next 2 years.

End this stupid cr*ap. We have tons of navy ships with plenty of fire power, and crews that need combat training. Might as well train with real blood.

5 of 10 hostage takers were "eliminated." The hostages are OK.

The Russians are on their way with a warship, and they don''t fool around. We are already there, and have little to do with this, so we are cordial to the pirates. Are we playing, "Good Nation, Bad Nation" with them?

"Maybe they want to exchange the tanks for firetrucks, the ladder ones with the wheel in the back. Hope they were not paying attention to what happened to the guys that took those hostages in Egypt. "
---------------------------------

That''s good detective work. We can now deduce that there is an even number of pirates. (takes two to drive each hook and ladder truck)
What did happen to those guys who took hostages in Egypt? I don''t get to listen to as much news as I''d like.

"If you really WANTED to stop these guys and END the situation, you shouldn''''t be RESUPPLYING them!"
--------------------------------------
But if you wanted to save the crew, which is what makes this so complicated, you don''t want the pirates getting hungry and desperate and start shooting.
If you wanted to listen in on them, you would send supplies.

problem solved=four sharpshooters armed with .50 cal scoped rifles, twelve hand grenades each and .308 sniper rifles each ship, also install a 500,00 volt wire around the ships hull similar to a hot wine for cattle.
