We need to make sure there are plenty of pirate corpses rotting on dockside gallows in every African port. That''s how they did it in the old days.

YAARRR!!! I don''t know what ye be talkin'' ''bout when ye say that there be no armed guards on oil tankers. It bloody says it in the blasted article...yaaarrr.

""It''s not easy to take over a ship" as massive as oil tankers, which typically have armed guards on board, he said."

It has been learned that Somali pirates have seized a super tanker filled with crude 5 miles from the Kenya coast.

It is rumored that the pirates are holding the ship for ransom and threatening to send the ship laden with explosives into Kenya''s port city in the hopes of blowing the country off the map if their demands are not met. Because Great Emperor-elect Obama has relatives in Kenya, the ranson the pirates are demanding are jobs in the Obama administration WITHOUT having to fill out the 9 page employment application form.

Obama is considering asking the Great Emperor Bush II to either send in the Navy''s 5th Fleet to re-capture the ship or sending a "swat" team of specially picked mercenaries from Blackwater USSA to handle the job!

Meantime corporate executives of BIG OIL, seeing an opportunity, are contemplating raising the price of gasoline back up to $4.50 a gallon because of the increased threat of pirate "terrrrrrrorism"!

SIG HEIL, I LIKE PIRATE MOVIES!!!, BUSH!!!

I will bet the world oil prices will now go way up again. This is just the excuse the oil companies were looking for. Lower prices were too good to last, now that the political elections are over in the USA.

Why are so many referring to these pirates as terrorists? Pirates aren''t terrorists, they''re more like kidnappers or "shipnappers". Besides, how can they be considered terrorists if they don''t harm anyone captured on the ship? I thought terrorists use violence to incite fear for political reasons, isn''t that the whole idea behind the terror part of the word? Seems to me like Americans use the word terrorist to describe just about anyone they dislike.

These Somalian pirates are just poor people trying to eat. Think about it...Who in their right mind would board a tiny boat and try to take over another boat thats 10 times bigger and whose crew outnumbers yours 5 to 1? Sounds like a pretty dumb idea no matter how uneducated you might be, right? I don''t care if you have a rocket launcher, GPS, or that suit that Ironman wears. There''s no way anyone would even think about doing anything like that unless it depends on their life or the life of their family.

Any vessel crazy enough to ply these waters needs to have an armed team aboard and learn how to repel boarders.

Another day in the world and everyone thinks they have the answer to fix it.

If it were that simple I am sure that they would have already fixed.

By the way I am a liberal with a gun......
