You Mean The Pirates Aren’t Dead Yet
Why is the FBI negotiating for the release of the skipper of the Maersk Alabama? Seriously.
I would think that the U.S. wouldn’t pussy foot around with the pirates that are holding Capt. Richard Philips, and that the Navy would have taken them out already.
What, aren’t there any snipers kicking around, and if not, couldn’t they be flown in? Or does it have something to do with the technology they possess not functioning properly?
Think about it, how hard would it be find a few shooters to take out the four pirates holding Capt. Philips?
It could easily be done from the air and without causing any significant harm to the hostage.
Yes America, you do have the technology and the sharp-shooting talent to take out the four armed men who are probably wishing by now they brought a change of underwear with them.
I’m surprised that more than 24 hrs. after the incident on the Indian Ocean began, the Americans are still dealing with this. What’s the problem?
Why haven’t the Americans gone all cowboy on the hostages yet? Maybe they’re too scared to do anything about it.
If they worried about harm coming to the skipper, they shouldn’t be, because the pirates are too afraid of the consequences if they do harm Capt. Philips.
They know what is going to happen to them if they harm an American. The last thing they want to do is make the officials in Washington anymore angrier than they already are, right.
Naah man, these pirates are dumping bricks in their pants right now, and the last thing they want is to be responsible for the Americans unleashing a whole lot of hurt on them, and the people on shore.
I don’t get it. The pirates should be dead already, and the skipper of the Maersk should be either on his way home to his wife, or, back aboard the American flagged, Dutch owned shipped which is on its’ way to Kenya now.
I have seen pictures of the pirates by they way, and some of them really don’t look healthy enough to even put up a good fight, let alone carry an RPG launcher so I don’t know what is holding the Americans back.
Send the pirates a message by taking out those four pirates bobbing around in the Indian Ocean.
It’s not like there are holding other Americans they can take out in retaliation, so the likelihood of the pirates retaliating are slim, and none.
Come on America, four shooters, four shots to the head. Death would be instantaneous, and by the time other pirates could respond, Capt. Philips would be well on his way to safety. I’m sure he knows what he has to do if something like that were to happen.
If it’s retaliation that is preventing the Americans from taking the pirates out, they shouldn’t be concerned about that.
I bet the pirates are wishing right now they were holding more American hostages as insurance.
They aren’t going to kill any of the other hostages in retaliation because they aren’t American and the last thing the pirates want to do is force another country to take a little retaliatory action of their own. The pirates aren’t capable of putting up much of a fight, not unless they have already jumped
into bed with the al-Qaeda and other insurgents in the lawless Somalia.
I know if I was calling the shots, I’d be sending a message to all pirates in that region that America is going to put up with the kind of BS, and the message would be delivered scribbled on four dead bodies.
Take em out America, send a message to the pirates that the U.S is the wrong country to be effin around with.
