The amazing thing is how far East and South of their base they were
operating.


The only answer - small tatical nuke right on top of the headquarters
should do it.


No nukes. *To much bad mojo. *Either *Thermobaric bomb (Fuel Air Explosive)
or a BLU-82B Daisy Cutter.


Well, I have always felt that it should read. Two eyes for an eye, and a
mouth full of teeth for a tooth, and the son of a bitch won't come back
to see what you have for him next time... * *


I know Tim.... I will say it for you... Awwwwwwwwwww Scott...


LOL!

I don't have to guy. You already did!
Nothing like self-automated quotes, though.

What gets me is they would have to know that the waters they were
sailing in was extremely dangerous, I wonder what made them think
they'd be immune to attack?

Perhaps they did, but I thought I read that the pirates had changed there
attack location and are now operating some 800 miles off the coast.

The recommendation is to stay outside 400 miles East - they were 800
miles SE according to the article and their last reported location.

The pirates were operating beyond what they normally do.

It looks like the creeps are really stretching out there now . I
didn't realize that. Thank you, Tom.

No nukes. To much bad mojo. Either Thermobaric bomb (Fuel Air
Explosive)
or a BLU-82B Daisy Cutter.


What the hell is the difference?

Ever seen one of those thermobaric monsters go off?

Use a tactical nuke - faster, cleaner and minimal residue. :)


Nukes have a PR problem. Never saw a FAE except in movies. Friend was a
backseater in Phantoms. They were escorting a C130 in to Cambodia one time
he said. No lights and almost collided with the C130, after the plane
dropped the package. He said as the bomb slid out the plane went really
nose up with the weight shift. And then he thought the bomb was a dud as
nothing happened. For maybe 2 minutes. While all the FAE went into
tunnels, etc. Then he said it was like a nuke. Less PR, but more carbon
unfriendly.
