They need to start blowing these a****** out of the water.
I don't care how many war ships you show the pirates it won't
stop them till you show them the business end of a modern weapons
system. If we show force , use force . Something slimballs understand.
The pirates look at all the military ships and laugh. They know that
the military has no power to stop them until they wake up some politician in their home country that will say ..................................
We will look bad picking on the little guy. GO FIGURE

They need too get rid of their home country! That is the only way to make it stop. Every one talks about getting the Pirates, but what is the male population of Somali? How many males or born every day over there? Now how could you possibly get rid of the pirates?

I guess this poor couple does not read the papers or have internet. Why would any civilan ,no-cargo ship even entertain the idea of sailing into pirate infested waters? Why are not the British, French and American navies not in full force in these waters? We are fighting land based wars in Iraq and Afganistan so our navys could be chumming the waters with the boats and bodies of these pirates. The only way this is going to stop is to make it wat too expensive in cost and pirate lives to continue this. If some shelling of the pirate bases is needed than so be it.

you know if Odumma quits coddling them much like Clinton and Carter coddled terrorists and launch about 20 harpoons the pirates will go away. But oh yea since the Hilderbeats is puzzled as to the whereabouts of Al-Queda, they probably don't know what pirates are anyway.

Asleep? He was asleep when he made the foolhardy decision to even venture into this area, does he expect the calvary to come rescue them? I detest these pirates & their activities, but this couple are in a position of their own making, no one else's.

As for dealing with the terrorists in speed boats? Geez, wonder what Ronald Reagan would've done??
