Zer0's response to the Somali pirates has sent a message to any and all enemies of this country: America under 0bama is weak.

hmmm, well, i don't really see that. there are several navy vessels there and the FBI is involved in a textbook sort of way.

but if you want to continue your pathetic gyrations, go ahead. might want to go post somewhere like stormfront. probably a lot more like minds. you betcha.

Why should America be The World's Police!?!?!? I'm sick of the US being pushed to solve everyone's problems? I WANT MY TAX DOLLARS IN MY DAMN POCKET, NOT OUT THERE PROTECTING THE REST OF THE WORLD!!!

Keep in mind...
A) Merchant vessels can not carry weapons, even for self defense. This is a Maritime law. Pres. Obama has no say in this law.
B) The sea is a very large territory to secure, even with the largest military presence on the seas.
C) The cargo ships passing through the waters off Africa are not only US vessels, they are from all over the world. Where is the Chinese navy? Where is Japanese navy? Where is Greek navy? Where is Indian navy? etc....

The cargo ship Maersk Alabama was attacked by pirates early on the morning of April 8, 2009 and presumed hijacked. The vessel was en route to Mombasa, Kenya, when it was assaulted about 300 miles off Somalia’s coast. The Maersk Alabama is home-ported in Norfolk, Va. U.S.A., and has a crew of about 20 U.S. nationals.

....Wednesday when four pirates hijacked the Maersk Alabama aid ship, which was carrying 5,000 tonnes of UN aid destined for African refugees.

...Abdirahman Osman, a resident of the town who says he knows the pirates well, said some had returned home later Saturday, looking tired. He said the pirates told him they had abandoned their plan to help fellow bandits on the lifeboat because it was surrounded by U.S. forces.

Walk softly but carry a big stick. ;)

I'm glad Pres. Obama isn't laying on the heavy like a past president. :rolleyes: It's just better to do things without running your mouth.

0bama will just keep piling warships up until that lifeboat is surrounded. Beyond that he has no clue what he will do.

well he's probably not an expert on naval interdiction. that's probably why the FBI and military are playing a big part. who's that guy they mentioned in the news... petraus? hey, wait, you mean petraus, that guy that seemed too know what he's doing, is still there even though the administration has changed? well, what is going on here?

you have no idea what clue he does or does not have. your tripe is tiring.

yep, that's him.

and as much as you may disagree with everything moveon stands for, you are exactly like them in form.
 
She has absolutely no idea about 95% of the shit she spouts off about on here. She can't even begin to look at anything from a global, or another sovereign nation's viewpoint, to even begin to actually understand these issues, and who is right, or in the wrong, or what have you.

She basically sees everything in this world from some twisted perception of a backwoods American small towner, who never went any where farther than the neighboring state. Add to that a warped ultra right wing twist, and a firm belief that Americans are the chosen people and the rest of the word is a bunch of peons to shit on if it so pleases us. Frankly, I'd be surprised if she, even in her own mind, considers anyone who is not a right wing nut job, with a bible thumping streak, and/or foreigner or both even to be human. I mean sure she may say different to us, so that she feels like we think she is a normal person, but it's just lip service, so that we don't see the depth of her racism and hate mongering.

That about sum it up mink?

That's it??

HAPPY EASTER!

Freedom is a fitting Easter gift for this true American hero!

Hostage captain rescued; Navy snipers kill 3 pirates

Of course, if it was Bush, some reporter would ask "Why did it take 5 days before the Captain was freed?" :shrug:

........end of story.


Gurnon stressed that while Phillips was rescued, more than 200 mariners remain captives at sea.

"The pirates have a great business model that works for them: See ships, take ransom, make millions," he told reporters.

US navy/special forces rescue captain.

ship is in port.

end of story.
Damn, I rushed to my computer to post that... now I'm too late. No scoop for me. :D

Now, if the other countries would do the same we wouldn't have this mess. Stop paying out ransom and start bustin' nuts like the US just did. Then none of us would be in these situations again.
