Pirates?

The Captain is free and unharmed.
Three out of four pirates were killed, the fourth is in custody.

Yo HO HO and a bottle of American Effing Whoop Ass!

Now that they have been introduced to the American way.. will it deter them in the future?

GOOD GOING SEALS!!

I absolutely LOVE this -

Two of the captors had poked their heads out of a rear hatch of the lifeboat, exposing themselves to clear shots, and the third could be seen through a window in the bow, pointing an automatic rifle at the captain, who was tied up inside the 18-foot lifeboat, senior Navy officials said.

It took only three remarkable shots — one each by snipers firing from a distance at dusk, using night-vision scopes, the officials said. Within minutes, members of the Special Forces slid down ropes from the Bainbridge, climbed aboard the lifeboat and found the three pirates dead. They then untied Captain Phillips, ending the contretemps at sea that had riveted much of the world’s attention. A fourth pirate had surrendered earlier.

"Want to admit, you were wrong?"
You're kidding, right??

This was on the Huffington Post:
"Capt. Richard Phillips was in "imminent danger" of being killed before U.S. Special Operations forces shot the pirates in an operation personally approved by President Barack Obama, U.S. officials said."

Rock on!

Having some idea of the skill and training that go into these shots, I wouldnt call them remarkable, but testements to that skill and training.

Two small details about this whole story.

Obama wanted to be sure that Johhny Depp was not involved, The bleeding hearts who are concerned about how this looks to the world are trying to get the fourth pirate to be taken to Anaheim, California.

He is going to be given a visa and a job at Disneyland on the Pirates of the Carribean ride

------------------------

JUst head that the surviving pirate was allowed to make a phone call from the U.S. ship and was at the fantail waving to his friends who were watching him when the SEALs jumped them!

"Can you hear me now?"

They also wanted to give him a season ticket to see the Pittsburgh Pirates!
