Pirates of the Aden

[MontereyVol]

Is anyone here wondering why we aren't resolving this issue? They captured three large ships in the last two weeks including an MV and now companies are sailing their fleets around the horn of Africa to avoid them.

The solution is simple.

on a side note, I have boarded the Ekawat Nava 5.

sure, continue to fix other people's problems. if they can't figure out how to deal with these people, let 'em perish. why do we need to rescue them?

We have a vested interest in keeping that lane open.

Nice but thats like trying to hit a gnat with a sledge hammer.

There is a contingent of US Navy brass thats going to ask for permission to hit them.

It could be a good way to show he is tough on foreign policy.

Nice. The most elegant solution is usually the easiest too.

Wrong GA. Everyone knows that Mr. Norris is a ninja. It takes a Pirate to kill a Pirate.

a feel good about high dollar thieves. That's a shock from MSNBC.

A look at history shows us how these guys are defeated and that article shows a good idea of how to start.

It’s clear that not all sea dogs carry daggers and wear eye patches. Some pirates wear Armani and Gucci.
Compared to those rogues, the Somali outlaws look almost like petty shoplifters.

Thanks C.W. Gusewelle for being original and demonizing corporate America...
