No American Ships.....cool!

Somali pirates hijack 4 ships, take 60 hostages......."The latest seizures were the Lebanese-owned cargo ship MV Sea Horse, the Greek-managed bulk carrier MV Irene E.M. and two Egyptian fishing boats. Maritime officials said the Irene carried 21 to 23 Filipino crew and the International Maritime Bureau reported 36 fishermen, all believed to be Egyptian, on the two boats." (AP news)

Lot's of big talk from these "pirates".....no surprise to me that they picked Lebanese, Greek and Egyptian freighters instead of an American ship. These guys are punks....I hope that the Greeks have the courage to stand up and not pay them. Send their navy?????? and get their ship back. Give into these punks like everyone has been doing for years and guess what? They keep doing it.

I have a question for all of you....during the Bush years, did we have any pirates grabbing our ships? If not, it's interesting that they decided to grab one once Obama came into his presidency. It shows how the world looks at us since Bush is gone. Biden did say that people would test this new president. I guess President Obama surprised them.....Again I will say....Good Job Mr. President.
