In regards to the recent incident involving Somali pirates and the Maersk Alabama, ore Secretary of State has responded with laughter and our President said, he was dealing with housing issues. I will let the silence and lack of action on the issue speak for itself but I will also present to you the following post from the Exurban League:
After maintaining his silence for two days, President Obama will soon make his first public statement about the pirate attack upon an U.S.-flagged vessel off the Horn of Africa. After several inquiries and a few well-placed bribes, Exurban League has received an early transcript of the President's remarks:
Good evening. As you know, early yesterday, Somali-based pirates attacked the Maersk Alabama, a freighter carrying relief supplies to Kenya. While we do not yet know all the details, the Alabama's crew re-took control of the vessel and forced the pirates off the ship.
Since the pirates are still holding the captain, I have sent FBI negotiators to facilitate his safe and speedy release. I assure his friends and family that I will not stop until this man-made disaster is resolved in a peaceful, tolerant and ecologically-sound manner.
Obviously, this incident has raised many concerns among Americans. There have been calls for justice and even violence against the misguided perpetrators. But such an emotional reaction has led to the disparagement of entire groups with which we are unfamiliar. We have seen this throughout history.
For too long, America has been too dismissive of the proud culture and invaluable contributions of the Pirate Community. Whether it is their pioneering work with prosthetics, husbandry of tropical birds or fanciful fashion sense, America owes a deep debt to Pirates.
The past eight years have shown a failure to appreciate the historic role of these noble seafarers. Instead of celebrating their entreprenuerial spirit and seeking to partner with them to meet common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.
Some of us wonder if our current Overseas Contingency Operation would even be needed had the last administration not been so quick to label Pirates as "thieves," "terrorists" and worse. Such swashbucklaphobia can lead to tragic results, as we have seen this week.
To address this issue, I have instructed Vice President Joe Biden to create a cabinet-level Czar of Pirate Outreach and Buccaneer Interrelation. In addition, June 1-7 has been designated as Pirate Awareness Week, during which all federal buildings will fly the Jolly Roger and sponsor sensitivity training. Thankfully, my American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will fund free grog and hard tack for all attendees.
Finally, to all pirates listening to international broadcasts, shortwave services and ship-to-shore radio, let me say this:
Ahoy, me regret arr relationship has set sail in a scurvy manner. Arr people share many mutual 'alues and concerns on t' raging main. Perchance, could ye handsomely release the cap'n o' the ship and I assure that no harm will come t' ye or ye hearties. Let us smite t' reset button and launch our seabond on a new pegleg. Savvy? Godspeed t' ye and t' ye beauties. Aye, me parrot concurs.

Maybe a bow or two..........with the britches down?
Our only hope is to apologize quickly. This is getting out of hand!
PIRATES TAKE ANOTHER ONE: HIJACKED TUGBOAT HAS 16 CREW ON BOARD http://www.drudgereport.com/
MSNBC is reporting that France sent in a commando team to rescue their people 1 hostage was killed that rest are safe.
Sorry about that post by Boo Boo, he has a soft spot for Pirates, he is a parrot after all.
We can't just drop missiles on them. They need to be arrested and brought to America and given constitutional protection. These people would not be pirates if it were not for America. It is our fault they are Pirates. If we would just treat them better they would not be Pirates. Who are we to say they should stop taking over ships at sea. We should apologize and then send them some bailout money.
Ethipoia did have troops in Somlia last year but they are pretty much gone now. The US Should just sent up a Naval blockade like we did with the barbary pirates. What is funny about that is that the UK and France with larger navies at the time paid the tribute after we stopped they sent in their navies. End of the pirates now we have them again.
Somalia is not protected by anyone. Its a lawless land that no one wants to deal with.
there needs to be he sweet sound of cruise missiles on the heads of these people. enough already, if there was ever a time for payback (blackhawk down) now is he time. The message should be fuck with Americans, we will turn your country into something that looks like 10,000 BC!!!
Why is there not a destroyer flotilla around them as a distraction and a seal team or two kickin ass?
It's protected Libby.,,,,,,,,, and not by Us
why isn't somalia a fucking pile of rocks already? If there is a place that needs to be sent to the stone age, it is the stone age somalia!!
Well their is still one clear response.
Lol......Wiz I wish. The only credit I can take here is the fact that Rush limbaugh apparently found this as worthy to repeat on his show as I did in my blog.
Oh well. Rush did read this on his show, I thought he might have been reading your facebook or this site.
To be clear, No I did not write this. I did write that it came from the Exurban League. Unfortuneately, I pasted the wrong link at the end of the post and it does not allow me to correct it.
The link to it this posts origin is

Is that Friday's avatar?
Hey Kempite did you write this? Rush Limbaugh read this on the aire today on his show.
Has I have said in the past the US should respond with a naval blockaded.
Rest assured the captains family can be proud that he gave himself into captivity to save the crew and ship. For the "we landed under sniper fire" Secretary of State to laugh is an abomination. We'll see if she's laughing if he doesn't make it home.
drunk hillary , now i gotta find that vid
Well put wiz.... night
i am sure friday would be offended at that pic :-)
Well these guys are not characters from some pirate movie. They are ruthless, and after the silly response from our Secretary of State, may just cut the Captains head off. Imagine those headlines tomorrow. Al Quida is Somalia doesn't have to blow up a ship, they just have to make our admistration look like a bunch of jackasses.
The saddest part to your comment Wiz is the fact that each point is true.
Yeah Hillary was a bit giddie(drunk) at that press conference. Harkening back to them ye ole days of the Barbary pirates, argh. But its not a joke when you got an AK47 next to your head. I don't understand why we can't send a fleet to somalia and bombard it with 200 tons of shells. But then that wouldn't be so funny. I give all the reward to the Captain of that ship that gave himself up to the Pirates. He might get his head cut off if Obama doesn't spend ONE TRILLION DOLLARS. Wait thats not alot of money anymore, Argh.
