Over 200 hostage seamen from many countries are just a bit little more than uptight tonight in their Somali jails. The US came in and blasted three Somali merchant pirates into kingdom come. Three head shots. BLAM BLAM BLAM
Double O-bama now has some 3 notches on his very own pistol grip. A faint yet distinct "YEEEE HAAAWW" was heard in the corridors of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave after the Navy called with the news.
Obama promised diplomacy - not cowboy diplomacy. Has he damaged his case now and hurt his chances with the moderate pirates? How will this effect the word on the pirate street? The Somalis have watched as the world dumps radioactive waste off their shores in one place as the rest of the world hauls off the Somali fish from others, destined for Paris and Belgium and Washington DC.
And now that Bronco Barack unilaterally decided, without any input from the UN, Iran, Cuba, North Korea, China, or Russia to summarily remove the heads of three young black Somaili men and leave bloody squirting stumps. These men, these pirates, are a product of their dirt poor environment, which has have conspired to push them into a vocation where, it may not have been their first choice, but one, until now, where nobody was intentionally hurt (these Somalis know their market). To them, its just business. No worse than our beloved Tony Soprano and his escapades in New York and Jersey (well, the real ones I mean).
What is Barack's game? How many more under-educated, under-nourished, mis-employed, young Black Men must die at the hands of Barack's Navy and the new 'shoot first ask questions later, in Africa Only' policy?
And what about the other 200 hostage sailors? Will the pirates, after being shown no respect or honor, now retaliate in divine and perfect criminal fashion? It's a passion play that the White House started...and a pirate quagmire that is about to ensue.
Hold onto your wallets, Somalia will make the whole Iraq Adventure look like a walk in the park.
