Four American Hostages Killed by Somali Pirates

It is time to take the gloves off and blow these fks out of the water, no questions asked.

Despite ongoing negotiations with U.S. Navy warships shadowing the vessel, shots broke out on a yacht with four Americans onboard which had been hijacked by Somali pirates. Navy personnel boarded the yacht, killing two Somali hijackers in the process, but found all four Americans dead. Thirteen Somali pirates were taken into custody.

Why anyone would sail a private vessel into the waters around the Horn of Africa is beyond me.

I agree 100%. This really should be the last straw, but we know it won't be.

Still though those people probably should have known better than to try to sail through the Gulf of Aden.

Each and every one of those bastards should be taken to the stern of the ship and given a bullet to the back of the head, and thrown overboard...**** being nice, kill'em all, no mercy should ever be shown to these "pirates"....

[ssracer]

And the pirates that were captured I believe are being brought back for a trial....

Overwhelming deadly force is the only way to deal with these pirates.

Apparent the Navy boarding team killed a pirate with a knife. Wouldn't be my preference with the prevalence of AIDS, but still, that's hardcore.

"The Answer" is to track the pirates back to their villages and then MOAB or napalm the villages. Kill every single living thing.

Just like in the old days.

Piracy is one form of Low Intensity Conflict you can actually kill your way out of. And we are damned good at killing people, so why not?

White skin and money is no mystical shield. You need to use your head.

It's just like Laura Logan bopping her blond head around in the middle of a full blown insurrection. What could go wrong?

"WELL THAT SHOULDN'T MATTER!!!"

Reality check: Lot so things shouldn't matter but they do.

You want to yacht around the coast of Africa, fine. Hell it sounds like fun, and I would love to do it too. But bet your ass I'd have a couple of scoped .308's on hand to deal with shit heads.

And we should have thrown all the pirates overboard after shooting them in the leg...who would care but the sharks?

No would would care but the liberals and the pirates.
