Pirates who prey on international shipping along the Horn of Africa and even more distant waters have claimed that their actions are motivated by illegal fishing in Somalia waters. This is a spurious justification for criminal behavior. Pirates continue to conduct violent attacks using the latest in military weapons; attacks on private yachts, passenger cruise ships and commercial container ships more than 1000 miles from Somalia fishing grounds.
Their criminality is financed by private individuals who share the monetary profits. The CIA and the DIA are currently hot on the trail of the pirate organizations using techniques developed by the IRS--"Follow The Money." This is great, but more is needed. NOW!!!
Our Naval Response to the actual attacks must be quick; strong; and deadly. The State Department approach (as usual) are non-violent negotiations and long-term strategic policies such as fishery management, climate/economic conservation, and fighting poverty in Africa.
WHAT BULL SHIT!! THE SAME CRAP FROM THE STATE DEPARTMENT THAT THEY HAVE BEEN SPEWING FORTH SINCE THE END OF WW II. HILLARY--GO TAKE A HOT BATH AND LET OUR MILITARY DEAL WITH THE PIRATES.
The only language that a pirate criminal holding a knife to the throat of a hostage after the bastard has already killed innocent mariners are lines of tracer fire from a U. S. Marine Recon Team or Navy Seal snipers.
Sorry folks for my language -- I just can't take it anymore!
Happy New Year
