He should be in with a bunch of hardened criminals like everyone else. There's only one problem: I don't think he's gone to trial yet, and if he was locked up with hardened criminals, he'd probably never make it to the court room. Oops. |

Shag a couple boats loaded with the just and the unjust alike and sooner or later the world court[s] will hear about it and then condemnation will hit like the swarms of Egypt. Is a 14 year old holding an AK-47 on a pirate ship the same as a 14 year old holding a Glock at the gas station? It doesn't make any sense. We know the DOD monitors every inch of the gulf, they surely must know which mother ship a skiff came from. As to the "world courts", if you vaporize the mother ship and skiffs, there will be nothing left for court;) If Obama wanted to, he could stop this overnight... He could have closed Gitmo, too. Wasn't that his first promise? |

Not trying to politicize anything, Obama is the one who can stop it "now". When Bush was in, I had the same feeling, in fact I am sure I noted it here. The loss of 4 lives, fellow boaters, is a tragic event - no question about it. If you were president how would you rank it on a scale of national priorities compared to Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, terrorism, Iran, the economic crisis, the impending food and energy crisis, etc. ?? Think he tried the beer at the White House thing yet? |

Wasn't that his first promise? You have to know, he has no interest in anything that would bring stability to that area of the world. Oil needs to go to 200 a barrel so he can finish collapsing the economy. That's why he has been orchestrating the union/communist insurrections from the Whitehouse itself and now paying thugs in Wisconsin, Ohio, and right here in CT. |

For people like this guy, it's one of THE most important things, along with preventing women from getting proper health care, and fighting gays over marriage. That strikes me as another one of your knee jerk irrational posts. Are there more women not getting proper health care than men? I'd have guessed that it was probably split about 50/50. And what is the big issue with gay marriage? For about 5,000 years of recorded history marriages took place between men and women. Why has that concept suddenly changed, at least in the minds of some? VOTES! |

Would you just let me go? Shoot him in the leg, when he falls down put one on his ear., Really? Have you ever seen video of a firefight. I would think you would hit 'em anywhere you can. |

It certainly isn't responsible finances and helping those who need it. Why are you threatened by gays wanting to marry? Why are you threatened by organizations like Planned Parenthood? Why don't you tell us again about how everyone should tow the line about being OT and not disparaging others, since you're the epitome of good behavior? |

You claiming that all those patriots in such a place would try and kill him? Do you really believe that he's got to be confined 23.5 hours per day and have the lights left on 24/7 in order for him to be safe? |
