Maritime laws are some of the oldest laws on the books. Every country has the right to protect its flagged vessels in international waters. We as a country have dealt with African pirates in the past and the reference to that defense is in the Marine Hymn, "To the shores of Tripoli." The proper course is escort of vessels and destruction of the pirate vessels and their ports from which they sail. A combination of vessels and aircraft would quickly end this episode. This is not hard, just reduce the ports, then reduce the small shore launch facilities, then all boats. Then quarantine the coast. Who is going to be pissed off? The Somalis? Who cares if they get pissed?

You have a weak sister as President of the United States of America and O'BS is stuffing the whole country down the toilet, trying to be just like his arch hero, Jimmy 'The Peanut Farmer" Carter, another real touchy feely moron puke, ignorant of international relations and convinced you can reason with killers that are determined to extinguish you, your wife, your children and your way of life.
Best,
Ed
