Comments on: Pirates Vow To "Slaughter" Americans

Threat Comes After U.S. Freighter Escapes Attack And France Detains 11 Other Bandits

If you break into my home in the dark of the night carrying a gun I will not hesitate to shoot first. A discussion is not necessary and a warning is not necessary. The same should apply at sea.

-

Oh no no no. Rush was on the air the other day crying that the "poor pirates" were only teenagers and that Obama was a murderer for ordering them to be shot.

He's right. The Navy SeALS should have asked them for some I.D. before shooting.

The reason these thugs keep up their piracy is there is no fear of retribution. If they were blown out of the water with a hand grenade dropped when they come alongside they would think twice about approaching ships. If this just happened once or twice they would not know which ships were armed and would seek another occupation.

[zykracosmos]

...agree with zippie... convoy system makes more sense, easier to provide escorts (good UN service maybe). Also more sophisticated means of repelling attacks. If the ship and cargo is that valuable, why not have appropriately armed security on the ships? Looks like the vessel owners are going cheap, choosing to play the odds and roll the dice on paying a ransom while putting ship and crew at risk.

[mejordelahistoria]

guyfrompa45 why don't you go join your republican religious fanatic freedom fighters a.k.a the taliban in afghanistan so our forces can kick your balls in.

[zippiez]

The strategy of patrolling either the entire area or just a corridor is kinda-sorta-stupid: This is trying to find pins in a haystack.
The correct strategy to use is the convoy system: This forces the pirates to come to you: They have to patrol for you. You only patrol the convoy area: where the advantage is in your favor.
Now is the time to start before the pirates acquire stand off anti-shipping weapons.

[Dgunner]

Start paying them in marked money then track the money . Find them and take something valuable from them. Perhaps both hands. Set them free in thier country or throw them in sea after they are healed enough to attempt to tread water.Film it send it to thier family in eight by ten photos post the scene on the web.Personally I would warn the people of the pirates we were on our way to thier small little location to kill everything with lungs.

[eiddam]

Perhaps the piracy would not have bagan, if the European vessels did not dump toxic waste that made the Somalians sick, and, along with the West, proceeded to ILLEGALLY fish for Tuna, Shrimp, and Lobster , that is what they need to survive.

[Honorplease]

Just make sure our flagged ships are protected.
If they shoot,shoot back ,twice as hard.
Fish got to eat too.

[zeitmin77]

No surprises in the tax return?Surprises are usually outside the returns.

[gettysburg12]

All countries who use these shipping lanes need to come together in cooperation to rid the seas of these blackhearted, Blackbeard wannabees. Thankfully, our U.S. Navy Seals kicked butt and showed the rag-tag Somalis who's boss, which demonstrates that we're still No. 1. The French recently displayed they can do their part and what's need is International cooperation. Unity is the best threat against these thieving thugs. What they should be doing, instead of capturing ships and holding crews for ransom
is figure out how to take over their failed government, and focus on aiding their starving people before the citizens, and their country face annihilation.

[Dear Patriotic_Biker
So I take it that you approve of your unprovoked and unjustified invasions of two Muslim countries, resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent men, women and children, and your indiscriminate drone missile attacks on several other Muslim countries, whilst unconditionally supporting Israel in repeated war crimes and ignoring UN resolutions? ]

there will be one thing that will be true about 'the patriot biker' and all those that suffer from the same condition as he/she does ... and that is that 'the ends justify the means'.

the ends will always justify the means as long as the ends are in line with their view of the world. whatever they do will be completely and totally justifiable as long as the thing obtained is what they believe to be correct ... and of course ... they have no cognitive ablility to truly rationalize anything ... due to their condition. the profile in amazingly accurate ... and fully described on the site referenced below. the biker is a text book auth follower.

[so I want top know why Muslims can come to my country, tell me how I'm going to practice my religion, threaten myself & my fellow citizens & be allowed to arm themselves for an eventual attack upon any & all citizens of the United States Of America & the U.S. Government is going to allow them to do just that. ]

where is this happening? is it real ... or is it just in you head?

it appears there are things in your head ... and they're not quite right.

there isn't a muslim behind every tree laying in wait to convert you and your neighbors ... even though this is appantly the way you see it.

and then your drivel is followed by this:

[Hope to read more mature and thought provoking comments as this. ]

mature? thought provoking?

it's more like a prototype of a delusional, terrorist obsessed, enemy behind every tree, paranoid, 'christian persecution complex', authoritarian follower rant.

[stn_sage]

I don't accept the excuses that there are too many of them or they're too hard to find or any other B.S.! Baloney! Or, that these pirates are TOO MUCH for American military might!! Because if they are---than we got bigger problems than we can possibly imagine!

Look! They're not that tough to find! They'll be showing up---where the ships are sailing!
When they do---give them a chance to surrender---when they refuse---kill them! THEN,
Americans won't be slaughtered! Correct?! It's pretty easy, actually. Just do it!

[jsilver2th]

do you think that stud rush will be sticking up for the pirates again today?

look whose on fix news- you got gretta the scientologist and beck the mormon convert in recovery-

rush definately has the clevage over ann coulter though hubba hubba

Well spoken and everyone needs to take note. Just joined the forum because I finally found a comment worth reading. Hope to read more mature and thought provoking comments as this.

I am in agreement with you.

[stychokiller]

Organize all shipping in the region into escorted convoys. After a few years of this, the pirates will have either starved to death or moved on to actually rebuilding their basket-case country.

[dpu3jwallace]

IT IS PAINFULLY OBVIOUS THAT THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY OF DEALING WITH THESE PIRATES (WHO HAVE, IN ESSENCE, 'DECLARED WAR' ON THE UNITED STATES AND THE REST OF THE WORLD AS WELL) IS TO A*G*G*R*E*S*S*I*V*E*L*Y GO D*I*R*E*C*T*L*Y AGAINST THEM AND THEIR SUPPORTERS! -- START BY LEVELLING THE PRIMARY PORT AREAS THEY ARE USING IN A 'LAWLESS' COUNTRY. -- THIS INCLUDES DETROYING ANY AND ALL VESSELS (SPEEDBOATS, ETC.) THAT CAN BE USED IN THEIR PIRACY ACTIVITIES (HOPEFULLY SENDING A NUMBER OF THE PIRATES ON A ONE-WAY TRIP TO VISIT DAVY JONES' LOCKER, IN THE PROCESS). -- ALSO, GO AFTER ANY SHIPS BEING USED AS 'MOTHER SHIPS'. -- ALSO, SET UP A PRIORITIZED 'HIT LIST' (POSSIBLY OFFERING BOUNTIES), TO INCLUDE PEOPLE SUCH AS: ** THIS COWARD 'ISMAIL', WHO OPERATES OUT OF HARARDHERE ** OMAR DOHIR ** ABDULLAH LAMI ** JAME HABEC ** ANY OF THE SO-CALLED 'ELDERS' INVOLVED IN THE RANSOM DEMANDS ** ANY PEOPLE CLAIMING 'SHARES' IN THE RANSOMS "" AND, ANY CORRUPT POLITICIANS PROTECTING THESE PIRATES! -- DO WE WANT TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM -- OR -- MERELY DO SOME INEFFECTIVE 'GRAND-STANDING'?

[janefondu]

Maybe these prepubescent pirates need a Big Brother or Big Sister. Maybe Barry O. can start a new program to pay all of the out of work US citizens to become a big brother or sister for these pirates. He can have the Navy pick all of them up in Somalia and give em a ride her to live and stay with their big brother or sister.

[gce651]

Start sinking anything that comes within a nautical mile or so of any cargo ship.
