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...

Not with this administration!

It's not about politics.

Anybody talking like that around a few marines -
politics won't matter at all...

Ya, especially if the Marines actually happen to be gay.

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."

Seal bait around 03:30 would be my guess.

Isn't happening Joe, now the pirates are moving some of their "hostage
ships" to help out. The Capt. escaped, jumped over board, but was
recaptured, all while the Navy looked on. One wonders what the hell is
going on.

Read the story he

Wilbur? You know better than that. If your position is that there is no such
thing as a gay Marine, you are exceptionally naive.

Seals swim in from sub at 0300 local and quietly burn 1" hole in bottom of
lifeboat then simply swim away. Panic ensues as lifeboat sinks for unknown
reasons. As pirates swim away Seals simply sink them one at a time, saving
ears, of course, like they did in 'Nam, all filmed by special Aljazeera
news crew with infrared cams offered free by US gummit to show other
pirates with sat TV/internet back on land. When last pirate jumps
overboard Seals waiting under lifeboat inflate floatation ring before tied
up captain drowns inside lifeboat.

I bet Seals have underwater torches you can't even hear burning steel right
in front of you.

Taxpayers probably paid $10,000 each for them....dammit.

If you think CIA spooks are scary, it's because you've never met a real
US Navy SEAL.

SEALs present ears to astonished Aljazeera on-camera talking head while
staring into camera telling others watching their ear collection needs
expanding....

This place would make a great "practice zone" for testing and training.
Someone ashore knows who these pirates are and what boats they use. SEALS
could take them out and noone would have any idea who it was.

A tax on shipping companies to pay for it would be nice, but I wouldn't
hold my breath....

Shoot them in the head. Whats the problem, I don't see how the
pirates should beable to get with in a 1000 yards.

Being military trained, give me a rife (50cal) and the pirates would
get one chance not to get within a 1000 yard range. I can't see how
hard this is, yes I saw the news reports were the ships carry oil and
other flamable material and worry about fire arms aboard ship , but if
your going in area waters where this has happened 50 times this year.
where is the commen sense?

Yes I'm more then willing to join a crew at this time just to deal
with this problem.

I'd suggest that they don't burn all the way through the hull. Just get it
very thin in several places. Shouldn't take long for it to go.

Major problems with firearms on commercial vessels trying to get in
and out of port without extensive delays for firm arm inspections,
approvals, etc.

OTOH, a couple of 1,000 HP Cummins diesels hooked up to fore and aft
located fire pumps with 1,500 GPM output thru a 6"-8" nozzle is a
whole "nuther" kettle of fish.

Bull****. Lifeboats are unsinkable, will float when full of water. I
crossed the atlantic, bed about fifteen feet from a lifeboat, and got
a good look at it. Talked to the crew as well. Lowering gear is pretty
complicated. They make a point of telling the passengers that there
are two lifeboat seats per person. They don't tell you that if the
ship has a fair list, you maybe can only launch half of them.
