What aren't people taking action on the Somali pirates?

Tondtar · 12-10-2008, 05:24 PM

Let them have it ...What are they gonna do with a stolen oil tanker?

Park it in their garage until the dust (or "waves", in this case) settles?

Pawn it?

Sell it on eBay?

costs money that people don't want to spend. it's easier when everybody plays nice.

Comet · 12-11-2008, 04:46 AM

like I said... it isn't a big loss
insurance covers it

Onassis used to sink his own vessels for insurance money lol

NaTuReB0Y · 12-11-2008, 09:53 PM

Somalia is too big..........the country gotta be smaller in size....so the U.S. will get involved.

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn · 12-12-2008, 01:29 AM

what are you waiting for, go get a dingy and stop them.

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn · 12-12-2008, 01:30 AM

gshb · 12-12-2008, 04:28 PM

samwoo2go · 12-12-2008, 07:47 PM

wait...plz explain how the US navy has anything to do with policing the horn of africa? i agree with most everyone that the pirates are way out of line, but don't drag the US navy into this...it's not even remotely their fault. these captures happen in international waters...which technically is anyone's game. all these ships are defenseless because there are many countries which these cargo ships visit that strictly prohibit firearms of any kind...so no commercial vessels carry armed personnel. should they? i believe so...but then again, i'm not the imperial world ruler. it is what it is, but don't drag the US navy into it.

Blake · 12-15-2008, 05:37 AM

oh by the way, do you know how big of an area that is we're talking about? there isn't a battleship armada for every ship that passes through that vast area. hundreds of ships pass through that area everyday, 99% of them make it just fine...it's always that one ship that you read about in the news.
