Obama Wins Somali Pirate Test

President Barack Obama faced his first hostage crisis these last few days, and he proved himself to be more Ronald Reagan than Jimmy Carter. The hostage walked free, and three pirates were dropped by three Navy SEAL bullets. A fourth pussied out and will face the first American pirate trial in almost 200 years. The Somali pirates have vowed revenge. Their terms are acceptable inasmuch as their firepower is fourth-rate and their ability to hit a target is laughable. This journal will take the SEALs and give the points.

Piracy has been a grave crime since the says of Julius Caesar. When he was taken captive, he promised to escape and come back to kill all his captors. He did. Pirates are not the lovable rogues, the anti-government rebels that give rise to some form of inchoate freedom. They are the Mafia with sails. They are evil. They are the enemy of all civilized nations.

And this is where the Obama Administration has come up trumps. It was quite plausible for the US government to pay off these criminals as so may other country's have. Lloyd's of London is quite happy to pay $10 million to safeguard a cargo of $500 million. But not the US government. Pirates are war criminals and deserve to dance at the end of a rope.

The pirates fired mortar shells at a US congressman in revenge. They missed by several meters. They are inept, and they are useless. They couldn't hit the broadside of a barn, and they know it. The problem is that there is no government in Somalia that can bring these wankers to justice. And there hasn't been such a government since 1995.

And so the solution is quite simple. The Somalian coast, where these criminals live, must be raided by US and allied forces. This journal welcomes the US SEALs, the Royal Marines, the French Foreign Legion and the Russian Spetnaz in a worldwide effort to string these losers up by the neck. Pirates have always been enemies of humanity. Let's bring the world down on them now.
