any updates?


Yeah...I posted one. Apparently we don't have a Navy sufficient enough to
handle the pirates. :)


I agree. Let's quadruple the Navy's annual budget, buy a hundred thousand
inflatables equipped with a 50 cal. machine gun and a radar mast with blue
flashing lights. Enlist and commission an additional couple of hundred
thousand personnel and go into the law enforcement business, world wide,
stationing the new craft in every major port and patrol every nautical mile
of the world's shipping lanes..

Sounds like a plan. Maybe this is a battle Harry could sign on to.
