Somali Pirates

"From now on, if we capture foreign ships and their respective countries try to attack us, we will kill them (the hostages)," Jamac Habeb, a 30-year-old pirate, told the Associated Press from one of Somalia's piracy hubs, Eyl. "(U.S. forces have) become our No. 1 enemy."
Nuke 'em. :2

My friend and I were up until 4 AM Saturday night just talking about the hopstage situation and how the Navy should simultaneously snipe the pirates holding the captain.
This just shows off the talent and skill of our servicemen.
I got to announce to our Easter table that they got the pirates. Times like these your proud to be an American.

Those Navy snipers were unreal.
Two separate boats rocking. Critical shots only to be taken once.
Nailed them!!!

Oh what joy!!!

Do these people not watch the news.

You are a "PIRATE" and you wanna pick a fight with the greatest military ever assembled.

You throw as much as a rock at one of our ships and we will crush your entire organization like a bug.

Or the French, who did a succesful rescue mission too.

the UN should send a full army on Sudan, the pirates are protected by the murdering warlords that run the country by killing all non muslims and my surpressing the locals. Time to stop the murdering son's of *****es.

MILITARY CONSIDERS ATTACK ON PIRATE LAND BASES

They asked for it! Most Somali pirates live in small coastal villages, so we're not talking about Mogadishu here. What do you guys think?

It certainly is a great story for our boys. What shots! Glad that boat captain is going to make it home safely to his family. What an Easter gift for them right?

:dance: Lets do it. They said they would kill us, so it would be justified.

The pirates seem sort of suprised that some of their own got shot. Someone please tell them that pirating can be a dangerous job.

Intimidation will only get you so far. Sometimes you just pick on the wrong person.

US congressman Donald Payne barely escapes mortar blast at airport in Somalian capitol. Update: Unknown whether Americans were the targets. -CNN

Apparently mortars go off there very frequently.
