Why don't we use the unmanned drones?

Drones aren't very good at separating good guys from bad guys. As a matter
of principle, I am opposed to using robots to kill people. Even pirates.



I think they would do just fine to at least spot the bad guys. As someone
else said, all you have to do is observe a ratty fishing boat with
speedboats in attendance. Let the Navy take it from there.

The Somalis have a perfect record against the US when a Democrat is
president. Do you actually believe Obama will set the rules of engagement so
that these poor, under privileged Somalis will be killed? Don't forget the
US Navy was repulsed by a throng of Haitian women while Clinton was
president. I bet those Somalis will recieve TARP money, healthcare and a
free college education all at the expense of the US taxpayer after they kill
or injure the captain. The US lost in Somalia under Clinton and will
probably surrender and pay reparations under the spineless Obama.

A freudian slip, perhaps? Certainly changes the thrust of that article. ;-)


You only need to find a few gay marines..

You could get really really hurt talking like that in real life...

Observation drones are small and cheap, but don't carry weapons.

ARMED UAVs are a different thing entirely - neither small nor cheap!

What drones. I don't believe there are any over there. There are some
RPV, remotely piloted vehicles, with a human operator who can tell
right from wrong. Just look for ladders in small boats.

I just read the lifeboat was out of fuel....
I just read they have enough food for a week.
No way these pirates are going home any time soon.

"Turn over the Captain to us, and we'll let you live. Don't turn him over
to us, and we'll see you all in hell. Sorry, Cap'n."

New rule: From this day forward, any vessel approaching and attempting to
board a US flagged ship without authorization will be met with deadly
force. We will NOT tolerate pirates, and we will NOT take prisoners.

Following several centuries of tradition,
they could carry Marines...


Come to think of it, that's not a bad idea - especially for
US flagged cruse ships.

Think of the stories passengers could tell when they get home!

Bad idea! The Marines have been chased away by the Somalis before!

If by that you mean that this administration would not condone responding to
words with violence, I would tend to agree. Isn't that a good thing?
