Piracy policy too weak

| June 28, 2010 9:00 PM

Unfortunately, with a far left marxist liberal like Barack Hussein Obama as commander in chief, I don’t imagine we will ever seek out the Somali pirates and send them to the bottom before they can even get very far off the coast.

I should think we should watch the Somali coast, and anytime we detect a boat however large or small with armed Somali irregulars (pirates) moving out from the shore into open sea, we should immediately sink it.

We could station one of our amphibious warfare helicopter and Harrier carriers off the coast of Somalia with helicopter gun ships and Marines on board. Helicopter gun ships or Harriers could put an end to the pirate problem in my opinion. But I doubt Obama the traditional far left liberal that he is, would ever authorize such credible action against modern pirates.
