Obama. I wouldn't be surprised if Pelosi, Reid and Obama gave Somalia
an aid package of several billion dollars if they stop the piracy.

In light of today's outcome, don't you feel like an idiot?


Wilbur never feels like an idiot. More's the pity.

Anyone who pays a ransom to pirates is aiding terrorists. Burn 'em,
blow 'em up. Stop them, and discourage anyone else from even thinking
about it.


Anyone who submits to being mugged is aiding the mugger. Shoot 'em.
That'll discourage anyone else from not resisting being mugged.



I don't believe the capt. or crew submitted to the pirates.

In your original comment, it appeared you advocated burning and blowing up
those who pay ransoms to pirates. I can see that is not necessarily how you
meant it.
