Agreed, and not only that, the vessel was carrying food and supplies for starving African and Somalian people. The US Navy should put a couple Apache Choppers on that route and when there is trouble send those fuckers out. I have a lot of friends that went to Mass Maritime...shit's crazy.

Great Job by the seals, and Tre, you're wrong on this one.

navy uses cobras (army has apaches)....but i get ur point

That's exactly how they solved the issue of iranian speedboats going after oil tankers in the 80's... they put a couple of barges out in the middle of the shipping lanes to serve as bases for attack helicopters and went and checked out every vessle coming from the coast out into the shipping lanes.

Yes, lets see how brazen these pirates are when an apache is hovering over them ready to launch missiles at their boat. Shit, the machine guns on that bastard would be more than enough to cut their vessel in half. I can just picture the Pirates shooting at the Apache with their ak47's, as the attack chopper cuts their boat in half with a few burst from the main cannon.

You really have no idea what the hell you're talking about. Shocking.

Most of these ships aren't fishing vessels. They're transport ships carrying goods through international waters. These pirates are going 350-400+ miles off shore to hijack these ships. They aren't in Somali waters and they certainly aren't fishing. They're usually carrying millions of dollars worth of goods.

Awesome, awesome job by the SEALs.

Absolutely reckless decision-making and action by our military.

Of course no one is going to hijack a fishing boat worth $300,000 when they can hijack a ship carrying $30 million worth of cargo.

You understand that the hijacked vessel was carrying food and water for Somalian's and African's correct? The route that these vessels travel is over 1 milloin square miles (impossible for the military to cover on it's own)......these pirates are just that....scumbag, criminals that should be killed on the spot.

Maybe once he reads up on what actually happened his opinion will change.

Tre, are you proposing that the US Navy escort every large vessel that travels along the route that this whole thing happened on? Thats over 1 million square miles of water. The international treaties are what will not allow the vessels to arm themselves and that is the reckless part of this whole mess. These pirates have a license to do this. Your stance on this issue perplexes me, as bfury said, you where incorrect with your initial review of this topic, so I don't really know where you are going with this?

This image provided by the U.S. Navy taken from video made with an unmanned aerial vehicle shows the USS Bainbridge approaching a 28-foot lifeboat, bottom right, from the U.S.-flagged container ship Maersk Alabama on Thursday, April 9, 2009 in the Indian Ocean. According to the Navy, the cargo ship's Capt. Richard Phillips was being held by Somali pirates aboard the lifeboat when this video was made.

You're looking at a single, isolated incident that called for POLICE action not MILITARY action.

I'm making an effort to educate people. To accomplish that, I must expand their perspectives.

Criminals exist in every country and in every culture, but once you have a clue about the motivation of the Somali people to give safe harbor to pirates who live amongst them, come back and talk to me.

And once you have a clue about the motivation of Americans to kill motherfuckers that try to steal their shit, come back and talk to us.

Fuck that. Law abiding Somalians were happy about these scumbag pirates getting killed. They did hijack a ship filled with thousands of tons of FOOD and WATER for them. You are not expanding perspectives, you are defending criminals.

And again, you have no idea as to what you're talking about. These aren't fishing boats being hijacked. They are commercial ships usually carrying millions of dollars worth of cargo in INTERNATIONAL WATERS. These pirates go 300-450+ miles off the coast to hijack these ships. They aren't doing it 50 feet from shore. Fishing boats? Come on dude. They wouldn't be getting $3 million ransoms for fishing boats.

Maybe you should educate yourself on the topic before you start trying to expand perspectives.

Out of curiosity, which "police force" oversees international waters?
