Upping the Ante: Somali Pirates Now Hijack U.S. Tugboat

And where’s the response from our great leader? *crickets* 

This is how you vote “present” as POTUS.  When asked about the Pirate situation, Obama said “uh..we’re talking about housing guys, next question”  (Obama voted present nearly 130 times as State Senator in Illinois)

    And the FRENCH of all people have sent in commandos to rescue some of their hostages. Sadly, one of them was killed, but I bet the pirates got the message. Our poor captain hostage must be going crazy wondering where our Navy SEALS are? If I were him, I'd rather take my chances with a rescue attempt than remain a hostage. I'm a Nam era Navy vet btw. And I didn't vote for our "present" POTUS I'm proud to say. He likes to identify himself with Lincoln, but doesn't seem to want to identify with how we dealt with pirates in the past. The whole world seems to have forgotten those lessons too.

    "He likes to identify himself with Lincoln" (SirWilhelm):

    I wonder WHY Obama claims to admire Abe Lincoln...I guess that he was
    meaning to say BENEDICT ARNOLD,because he thrashed America at the
    G20 meeting in France and BOWED DOWN to a MUSLIM SELF-PROCLAIMED "KING".
    Where I was born and raised,we call this TREASON.

    PIRATES/MUJAHEDEEM:

    Give each merchant mariner a GLOCK .45 (I'm not fond of 9mm) loaded
    and proper DAILY training.Put a six-barreled 20mm gun hidden at any
    good place in their ships and you'll give HELL to those who wish to plunder
    American cargoes.

    OR...

    Escort EACH merchant ship sailing through those terribly unsafe waters
    (area close to six states of TEXAS).The Navy already said that it isn't
    feasible.The cost would be astronomic and less than 100% effective.

    OR...

    Put a platton of U.S.Marines on each U.S.vessel...when the pirates
    come close,they'd have a very unpleasant surprise.
