If for some reason anyone has empathy for these semi-automatic packin' Somalian pirates, I suggest you turn on your local news station and keep up with the current reports. Pirates (every-time I say that word I have visions of Johnny Depp and Kira Knightley...love her) have once again attacked a US cargo ship off the Somalian coast. Oh and by the way, these pirates don't use cannon fire and swords, oh no, they fire rocket propelled grenades and heavy automatic weapons. The most current attack was geared towards the Liberty Sun, however, the pirates were unsuccessful in hijacking the ship and taking the crew as hostage. OK, so what do we do? Lets go about this in a logical manner. The United States has the most advanced and capable military and weapon technology on Earth. These Somalian pirates have bases, ships, and your run-of-the-mill ((rocket propelled and automatic) weaponry. My suggestion: send a couple of our fighter planes to bomb the hell out of these pirate ships and bases. Problem solved. So, has anyone in the White House thought about this? Or are we going to try and extend a peaceful hand to these pirates, maybe even bow to em, or hey maybe even give them an iPod or DVD collection as a peace offering. I apologize, that was as far as my sarcasm is going to go, because this is indeed a very serious situation.
Piracy used to be punishable by death. And here we are, as a global community, sitting by and watching these barbarians raid our cargo ships and threaten us for ransom money. Are you kidding me? And of course, the world looks to the US to solve the matter, but we have yet to make a move. Here you have these pirates swearing vengeance for their slain associates (at least you have to commend their loyalty and valor), and then we have Obama promising to halt the rise of piracy on Monday. Tuesday=attack on cargo ship. Well Mr. President, you sure have done quite a bit of promising, how about we quit playing with Bo the dog, and get to fixing this pirate issue. Oh and while you're at it, lets cut down this deficit too, so Narsai Jr. Jr. doesn't have to pay for it. Many thanks, good night ya'll.
By the way, I am very excited to see how these tax day tea parties will go tomorrow, I wish I could attend, but I'm sure they will be a huge success!
