Part of that story is true. I was listening to the updates when he first got saved. The captain almost escaped on his own but he wasn't successful, the pirates found out and brought him back to the lifeboat and decided to tie him up better this time. The next day or so is when the SEALS finally came in |

America got what it wanted, and it'll leave and the pirates will be back. Somalia has nothing that the rest of the world wants therefor there is nothing to gain from helping them and I hardly see other countries positioning naval bases there out of the "kindness of their hearts". I know it sounds cold, but I mean... the Somalian pirates aren't a new phenomenon, they've been there for quite a while, but all of a sudden Americans care because it was finally one of their own. People are all up in arms now with a blood thirst vengeance but when the body bags start coming back peoples' opinions will change.

I would love to be a sharpshooter! I would enjoy scoping in on a pirate or two.
What boggles my mind is the mere fact that all these ships are being taken hostage by these Somali Pirates and the ships aren't armed? WTF is up with that? Dont Cargo ships have armed staff? |
