Winners WIN, Losers Negotiate!

I wonder if the people of Africa are aware they are stuck in a time loop. Two hundred years have passed and they are still trying the same stupid stuff. The most important thing to note is that the answer remains the same.

The enemy was the so-called Barbary pirates — agents of the North African provinces of the Ottoman Caliphate. In 1786, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams even went to London to negotiate directly with the envoy from Tripoli. The ambassador told them “it was written in the Koran, that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave.” He claimed every one of his guys who was “slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise.”

Apparently the Bainbridge had secured a metal cable to the lifeboat and was towing it some 25 to 30 meters behind the destroyer. One of the four pirates had come aboard the Bainbridge in an effort to negotiate the release of Phillips in return for their release. Three pirates remained on the lifeboat to guard Phillips.

During the negotiations on the Bainbridge something went wrong on the lifeboat and one of the pirates on the lifeboat aimed an AK-47 at Phillips and displayed body language that indicated he might be about to shoot him. This triggered the standing order by Obama to intervene if at any time the life of Phillips was in immediate danger. Snipers aboard the Bainbridge opened fire simultaneously on the three pirates aboard the lifeboat killing all three immediately.

At that time the remaining pirate aboard the Bainbridge was taken into custody. A rigid inflatable boat was dispatched to the lifeboat to recover Captain Phillips and secure the remains of the pirates. Phillips was then transferred to the Bainbridge, but has since been moved to the USS Boxer, as has the remaining pirate. The Boxer has better detention and medical facilities since it is an amphibious assault platform.

FNC reporting three simultaneous clear sniper shots from 30 meters (I think – does that sound right?).

Thank you Lord, the SEALS, and the Commander of the U.S.S. Bainbridge! WHAT A GREAT DAY.

Often, though, the pirates are friendly and helpful, though they detest use of the p-word. “We never kill people. We are Muslims. We are marines, coastguards — not pirates,” one said.

Hostages say the pirates are normally as friendly as they can be under the circumstances. While they threaten to shoot or beat them if they do not cooperate, they also roast goat for their captives and pass phones around for calls home.

Bout time!

Now lets start Operation “Feed the Sharks”
Cuz Sharks need food too!

That report appears to be bogus. OK… back to the topic.

You are so good. Here’s an update for you:

A senior U.S. intelligence official said hostage Richard Phillips was not hurt in what appeared to be a swift firefight off the Somali coast on Sunday. Phillips was safely transported to a Navy warship nearby.

Someone had reported 6 U.S. crew members on the 2nd ship. Haven’t been following the story – am going to check it out.

Yep, they got in close. Probably used the small craft that took fire and moved off as a distraction or to drop off Seals.

As I stated in the other pirate thread. Take a reinforced BLT and do what Marines do. Level the nearest operational port.

Next challenge: Someone had reported 6 U.S. crew members on the 2nd ship. Haven’t been following the story – am going to check it out.

How did they do that without killing the hostage??

Tom and Monkei ..eat crap

Now…to assemble a flotilla off the Somali coast and one by one take down the pirate safe harbors.

Yep. Because losing a few of their pirates won’t stop these folks from engaging in more piracy. THey really haven’t experienced any pain from the act. The French have already attacked 3 boats taken by the pirates and they still take French-flagged ships. If we don’t take out their bases, then this is all just good for today, but worthless for tomorrow.

YES!
