765223 2009-04-15 21:38:00 Why dont they use their brains and put secret armed squads like NZ/Oz SAS or English SBS on the merchant ships (duty free fags and piss as a bonus).
Only need 2 (1 sleeping other watch on stop on) men with M16s and just fill the pirates with .223" size holes.

I heard something similar talked about on radio although I doubt that the suggester was thinking of just 2. The answer was the cost of helicoptering armed groups onto and off the hundreds of merchant ships involved. Apparently armed ships aren't permitted in most of the civilian ports in the area. There are security firms doing this now. Insurance companies are undecided, as zqwerty says it can be risky.

765224 2009-04-15 21:38:00 Just a question SurferJoe, is your dad a Republican or Democrat?

Just wondering...


Here is a better question: Does he listen to this guy (mtblog.vanityfair.com)?

Most Republican wing nuts listen to this guy, who (I have been told) has the most popular radio talk show in the USA. He incites hatred, racism and imho is one of the most dangerous 'leaders' in the USA.

765227 2009-04-15 22:34:00 This crazy guy is the de facto leader of the republican party at the moment because the wheels have come off the party leadership.
He really needs to be taken out.

765229 2009-04-16 01:17:00 As I have said a few times over, I am a-political and even though my father is a retired Warrant Officer from the Navy, I am not of the same bent .

For consideration: My dad just recently expressed his intense displeasure and (now) outright contempt for "his country" which has let him down and trampled all over what he sincerely believed was right, just and the correct thing to do .

At his age now (born in 1919) he has had it with his gummermint and politics and just wants to die .

It took him a long time to figger that the gvt is out for itself and didn't really factor him in at all .

For the life of me, I cannot find any one world government that works, worked or is working, no matter how insightful and concerned it may appear .

765230 2009-04-16 02:26:00 Or we could look at the cause of the problem and try to fix that, rather than just blaming them and wanting to shoot them for being pirates.

If you get a flat tyre, do you just continue putting air into it or do you fix the gaping hole?

765231 2009-04-16 02:28:00 Since when has there been a problem shooting pirates? prefect (6291)
765232 2009-04-16 03:42:00 Since when has there been a problem shooting pirates?

We agree on this solution,I like the .223,very accurate.

Joe mentioned his dad was born in 1919,as apposed to him being 90,I hope that helps if he was unsure!.
