I still can't believe Obama is quite on this. Reminds me of the attack of the USS COLE and Clinton. (Who did NOTHING and IMO is what lead to further attacks in the US and eventually 911)

I can tell you the Navy is being told to do nothing....believe me they want to kill the pirates, but the new commander in chief is calling the shots and being told to stand down and observe.

This is his first military test and his lack of experience is shining thru. I give him a low grade so far. Even if this gets resolved today. Sitting in a life raft for days on end is not a solution. You need to take stern action to stop any other pirates on US ships.

Western flagged ships are paying ransoms...this is the problem...it's wrong..Just Kill the pirates and never pay ransom again. Try not to kill a US citizen but If someone dies on the process that is the cost we have to bear.

Hillary wants to capture them, treat them as criminals and give them lawyers...screw that, flush these SOB's once and for all goddammit.

(BTW, I believe the capt jumped overboard and began swimming towards the ship so he would be out of the way and the the Navy could shoot them...but they can't pull the trigger until the big man says fire and they probably could not get the go ahead in time . Should be standing orders, if you have a clear shot to kill them all, take it.)
