Somalian Pirates

"Millions for defense. Not one cent for tribute". Even though the scenario is different the result could be the same. As far as is known the captain of a US merchant ship delivering humanitarian supplies to Kenya is the only person being held by Somalian pirates. News reports indicate that a US naval ship is 225 nautical miles away from the site. At 15 knots per hour it'll take awhile to arrive on the scene. I am sure that Obama has jets flying over the dinghy holding the captain. I'm not sure if the Marines are nearby. You remember the last time you heard about US Marines and Somalia; political correctness and all that. Stay tuned.
