FOUR MEN AND A DINGY!!

It took three days but thank God the pirate crisis is over.

I especially like the squadron of F-15s. Too bad the pirates didn't have any air support.

Ha Ha funny picture....so I guess the Prez gave the go ahead to seize the dinghy? :roll:

That was very funny indeed. Why anyone would choose to f**k with Americans abroad is besides me. As much as I hate to say this, but I think Obama did a good job here authorizing the operation.

 

[horologie_unitas]

well done.

what took so long ?

may i remind you of a BLITZKRIEG that ran over france and defeated it in same time ?

at least one mission accomplished. ( George Bush might have been involved - ! lol )

I think the whole thing was ridiculous.

I think the whole thing was ridiculous.

Me too. It must've been a slow news week. What will the next "crisis" be that the media can use to try and rally the American people behind.

 

[fakemaster]

Well now that it's over the news has gotten back to more important things like Obama and his new dog Bo.

What I find incredibly interesting is the number of other vessels that are currently being held captive. There are some Canadian, French, Italian and Greek ships being held just a few hundred miles from where all of this drama took place. And from what I can tell, none of those countries are planning to take their ships back.
I guess when you dont have a proper navy, the best thing to do is pay the ransom and hope to get everything/everyone back in one piece.
On a side note, one of my PMC blogs today reported that three of the largest PMC's in the world are currently recruiting for positions in their maritime divisions.
Maybe its time I grab a life vest and go float around Africa for awhile...

Actually, French naval commandos took back a French flagged sailboat.... took down 2 pirates but lost a hostage...
