do you think I REALLY thought that the man in the highest elected office in the country DID NOT KNOW?
yep and Bernie Ebbers knew nothing about accounting errors.......( I know thats a lie cause I knew the man.)
iT WAS A JOKE ! You know , after his comment about " opening negotiations " with the Taliban ( i'm sure i will be corrected on the verbage and true meaning of this statement ) , and the fact that one of his first acts being the closing Gitmo.
I was just curious as to how the liberal media would spin it since "they" hate the military so much. I guess its OK to shoot 3 poor men who were just trying to provide for their community since the ship was carrying food for their people who were starving.....oh....wait.
And why do they insist on refering to the captain as a hero........ He is not a hero , he was the victim in this , our guys lying on the deck of pitching ship in the dark , they are my hero's. I do however have the utmost respect for the man who primary action was to protect his crew.
I know most of the time you may make replies like this to see what kind of rise or " discussion " from the poster you can obtain , but dude , seriously , lighten up sometimes.
I do have a serious question though........... Is there some maritime law somewhere that says container ships HAVE to be unarmed ? I'm not talking about arrays of AA guns , and Dillon Aero's , but C'MON , Give-em something!
Even if they didn't outright kill them , a few holes in the small boats they are using couldn't hurt.
I'm sure that they ( pirates ) would probably just start shooting everybody instead of taking and holding hostages for years and that opens up a whole new can-o-worms.
Or......we (or France , or any other country ) could just start sinking any and every small boat carrying a few guys with grappling hooks , AK's and RPG's navigating international shipping channels off the coast of Somalia!
oh, The " Parlay" line cracked me up !
