NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Bracing themselves on a rolling warship in choppy seas, U.S. Navy snipers fired three flawless shots to kill a trio of Somali pirates and free the American sea captain being held at gunpoint, a Navy commander said Monday.

As it should be. :icon_smile_approve:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

Good for them!  Shoulda happened sooner though. Should have smoked the boat when the Capt jumped in the water.

I was not there so I did not know the situation, but I was surprised it took them so long to do it. But from the article I read a few days ago the administration was trying to negotiate a "peaceful" ending to the crisis. God bless the Seals for getting the job done.

I think we are going to start to see more of this stuff as this is becoming a bigger problem.  I mean, come on you dumb ass pirates.   :slap: :rotz: We are on to you so take what you want and get out.  Where are you going to go with a ship ?  It's like painting yourself in a corner.   :slap:  I hope that we start a policy that we just sink the ships because as this gets worse I think that the pirates will just start killing the crews.

The ending was peaceful. ;) Only one tracer shot and three shots by the Seals; that's about as peaceful as it was going to get in my book.

They don't want the ship as much as they want a good reason make a ransom demand.
The big problem is that they've been successful in the past - someone paid the ransom - so they keep doing it.
There are stories of pirates hijacking small fishing boats and sending ransom demands to the fishermen's families. You don't get rich, but it might get you fuel for the next job....

Maybe this latest incident will slow them down a bit (I hope so), but more than likely, they'll just be more certain of the flag under which the ship is sailing.

It's probably a lot of bluster. They have to think now that they may die or spend their lives in a US prison. I certainly hope the guy that was captured is tried in the US and not turned over to Kenya where he could possibly get off.

Been following it since the start and just knew that would be the end result.  Can you picture those Navy Warriors right there on the fantail laying in wait for hours stretching into days, never moving, just waiting for the command.  I could, and was damn proud when they blew those MF's away and freed  the Captain, who is also a hero in my book.  He did the right thing, as he was supposed to, and that is make every attempt to escape!  He could have easily been killed, although those pirates weren't going to kill him at that point for obvious reasons.  They're pirates and they want money/booty unlike the scum we are fighting over there in you know where.
Awesome, is all I can say! Simply Awesome!!!
I read the other story too about the revenge, etc....
They don't even want to go there!

NAVY! Hoorah!!!
Life isn't Father Knows Best anymore, it's a kick in the face on a saturday night with a steel toed grip kodiak work boot and a trip to the hospital all bloodied and bashed.....for reconstructive surgery. But, what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger, right?

Ya, it's funny. They want revenge, when they are the criminals.  How dumb are these idoits.  We are the one's who should seek yet more revenge. They got a wake up call. Do not mess with the U.S. :cheers:

Damned straight Bull.  If they want to negotiate with these pirates, send an "envoy" of ground attack aircraft equipped with laser seaking treaties and they'll have peace in no time.  It worked in Libya and if some of the current hotspots hadn't existed for so long next door to the USSR, something could have been done there too way back when it was possible. (spoken from the safety of my armchair obviously but it's still my opinion)

Anybody else notice how the media kept praising Obama for this operation? :eyes:  Like it was Obama himself that took the shots.
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.  Especially if they have access to the internet.

 The news said tonight that there were at least 17 other ships with a total of 200 sailors being held captive. The news said that since this politicized incident has unfolded that at least 4 other ships had been taken over by (possible) Somalian pirates. Makes one wonder what else is happening on our Earth that we should, and don't even know about.
