happythoughts 0 #155 April 19, 2009 the impotency of NATO First, they find some pirates. They know the pirates are in the boat. They track them for 7 hours. They fire warning shots. The pirates throw their weapons overboard and stop. Then... they let them go. Quote The pirates' release underscores the difficulties navies have in fighting rampant piracy off the coast of lawless Somalia. Most of the time foreign navies simply disarm and release the pirates they catch due to legal complications and logistical difficulties in transporting pirates and witnesses to court. What a waste of time. Hillary speaks Who laughs during a situation like this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Kenyans could hold them for ransom until their pirate buddies paid up. The pirates chase, catch, but do not board a ship. Then, NATO chases, catches, and releases the pirates. What is the point of chasing them for 7 hours and then letting them go? "Tag! Your it." "Welcome to ESPNs new Global Tag. This weeks game is being played between Somali 'fishermen' and the NATO destroyer team." "The Somalis are way in the lead. However, some bonus points were awarded to the US Navy after 3 fisherman conceded their round." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe if the shipping companies were held liable for knowingly sending employees into danger with no defense, they might reconsider.
