OUR FRIENDS, THE SAUDIS: APPEASING/ENCOURAGING MUSLIM PIRACY

NYTIMES:
Pirates Free Tanker After Ransom
By MOHAMMED IBRAHIM and GRAHAM BOWLEY
A Saudi-owned supertanker held by pirates off the coast of Somalia for two months has been released for a ransom of $3 million, according to one of the pirates.

WHAT WILL THEY BUY WITH THAT $3MILLION, I WONDER, GROUP HEALTH CARE?
  • THIS IS NOT HOW YOU STOP PIRACY.
  • JEFFERSON KNEW HOW YOU STOP IT;
  • YOU KICK THEIR FREAKIN' ASSES TO KINGDOM COME.
THE SOONER THE BETTER.
THE FACT THAT WE HAVEN'T IS JUST MORE PROOF THAT DUBYA STANDS FOR WIMP.

As long as shippers prefer to pay ransom rather than pay for protection I am hard pressed to see my tax money spent on this problem

Are we supposed to believe that the NAVY just stood by an took pictures of these cooks, but then didn't do anything to stop them when they all scurried away in their little boats?

What a joke.
Johnny Depp must be leading this crew.
