Default Americans take ship back!

I wonder what happened, did the Americans, sick of terrorist jerks taking
whatever they want say "Enough, we're not going to roll over like a bunch
of underpaid Filipinos." "We're UNION, and no non-union crew is gonna run
this boat" :-)


If you are wondering what happened simply ask the captain of the ship if he
is returned alive for $10 million.

Unions: always quick to shaft the management!

There will be no ransom paid.
Crews fine.

The Captain is in a lifeboat surrounded by half a dozen 50 cal.
machine guns.

How come he is surrounded by half a dozen machine guns, only 4 pirates
attacked the vessel.
1 was captured, 3 remains with the captain.

A US Navy Destroyer and 3 fast ribs surround the lifeboat he is held
in.
The pirates should stick to capturing euro and mid east ships if they
expect to be paid ransoms.

I suspect the pirates will surrender, or be killed, before any money
is exchanged.

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.

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
