- Lord Bingham has said there was "no hard evidence" that Iraq had defied UN resolutions "in a manner justifying resort to force". Therefore, the action by the UK and US was "a serious violation of international law,"
YET, WHILE THE U.S. HAS CONTINUED TO HARASS IRAN, A NON-AGGRESSOR STATE, IT DOES NOTHING TO PROTECT AGAINST PIRATES BECAUSE IT IS, ITSELF, A PIRTATE!

- any nation state who has had their ships taken by the pirates should have the right to wage war on somalia and carpet bomb it until it surrenders all pirates to be hung. in the meantime, no ship should sail through those waters without being armed with guns, naval cannon, to begin shooting anyone approaching within 2 hundred yards, shoot to kill without warning. just blow them up out of the water.

- Could someone explain to me why the USA can''''t roll in there and take the ship back while waisting anyone who even looks like they object?
Are we afraid of reprisals from the country of somolia? the Ohio National Guard could kick their asss.
It''''s not as if they can hide this ill gotten booty!
With todays spy satellites I''''m suprised pirates can get away with anything.

Why should we waste our tax money for this? The Saudis have lots of money, let them solve this. - Reply to this comment

- Do you suppose they will tell ALL the story....sometime? Why wouldn''t the Saudias make use of the surveillance satellite system to determine WHERE the pirates came from and pursue with determination? They are supposed to be able to read your tag number, so surely they could see a ship/boat near a giant ship.
Sure seems like an inside job where a rope ladder was thrown overboard for the rest to board the vessel. Or, is it just a planned ''money transfer'' scheme if the pirates do not intend to harm the crew? - Reply to this comment
- I wouldn''t doubt that the US has some covert operatives involved in this piracy -- it would be just like Bush -- He let Osadam ben hoochie leave after 911-- so i wouldn''t put something like this past him

- Could this be another attempt to revive oil prices?
Something seems staged here to me. - Reply to this comment
- I agree with anon00.... what better way of funding Al Qaeda... The ships need to carry rocket launchers and machine guns too...

- The freeboard on these massive ships is like 80 feet. That would be like trying to scale an 8 story building that''s bobbing up and down, while you had a heavy gun and ammo strapped to your back.
Sorry, I''ll have to see the YouTube video first before I believe the skinnys pulled this one off. - Reply to this comment
- Is there any way not to love these guys ??
With a FULL load of oil and the threat to
the environment they now dont have to
"sneak" anywhere,
Just chug on into the Gulf Of Mexico and
with a polite diplomatic request
as the alternative Paulson''s
seven hundred billion big
ones is theirs. - Reply to this comment
- There''s no fricken way that little 15 foot "speed boat" in that video could pull up next to a 1000 foot long supertanker, and then the pirates just hop aboard.
What do you think, we all just fell off the apple truck yesterday? - Reply to this comment
