  • the fuckin navy seals deserve the graditude and respect more than obama lol

  • molloyx, gee, I just asked questions.

    Let's see if I read you right?... It was the Arab Africans along the Kenyan coast who sold African blacks into slavery to Arab lands & other (routes crossed to the Americas). Somalis/Kenyans have been tight for centuries in their slave trading off their coast (Zanzibar). Hardly any African Americans descend from slaves, but lots of them descend from the Arab slavers. Yep, you got that right; but you're off base on the white slavery part... in your dreams.

  • nozzle. Let us be clear. Is your postion that Somali pirates who kidnap American citizens [ at the threat of summary execution] must be 18years old before a Navy Seal can vaporize their respective pirate skulls? Are you suggesting they, if they are 17, should be rehabilitated in comfortable American rehab centers, there to pal around with Lindsey Lohan and Paris Hilton? If so I find this astonishing and believe it will only increase piracy attempts among sub 18 Somalis, hot for A list pussy.

  • Cyn. You are clearly privy to 'inside' information luckless bastards like myself have no access to. That said, here's my theory. The pirates were actually [ white Republican]University of Iowa football players tricked out as darky Somali pirates. Obama wanted a dust up so he could credit for its quick resolution but would not green light the extermination dark skinned people. The whole thing was a media/Obama concotion designed to increase the prospect of white slavery in America.

  • molloyx, questions: Who were the pirates (Somalis from Somalia, Somalis from Kenya, Muslim Luos, ?) Where was the cargo going (Kenyan govt, corp name, ?) Why was the 'food' sent to Kenya (military, humanitarian, commercial sale, ?) Why were negotiations held in Kenya? What role was played in the talks by Obama's cousin, Raila Odinga who is Prime Minister of Kenya? How much military & how much US taxpayer $s are being sent to Kenya as a result? Doesn't this affair stink of a Kenyan usurper?

  • Mr Nozzle. Your hatred of Obama has clearly distorted your sense of simple reality. You are also at odds with other anti-Obama crackpots, who insist he did nothing or acted too late. That said, I sense a disturbing increase in right wing distortion and paranoia, an increase that suggests the rise of clinical insanity is approaching a boiling point. Gun sales have sky-rocketed since the inauguration and it seems the right wing is poised to subvert democracy via outright violence.

  • This is a deeply weird and nonsensical comment Mr. Nozzle Returns. You suggest Obama should have taken 'decisive action' before the short lived hostage crisis took place and then fault the decisive action taken at precisely the right moment.. What kind of 'decisive action' were you imagining? Trans-continental hypnotism? Revoking the pirates parking priveleges? Threatening to withold dessert? The piracy has been going on for years, Obama has been in office less than 3 months.

  • It's not my media, although I appreciate the attribution. Your position is by far the more liberal, if that's your implication, although that is by no means an insult.

    You miss my point though. You would impose a different standard on mature, gun-wielding militants based on age alone. I cannot see how such exception is warranted.

    The responding U.S. ship was 300 miles away, but perhaps you think the U.S. Navy should have had a closer ship. Perhaps they should shoot at pirates preemptively?
