good job SEALs fu... the pirates.....they need to put something similar to federal air marshalls on these ships so when the pirates come a knocking they float way dead.....let that happen a couple of times and see how much it cuts down on piracy

My sentiments exactly.
Since they can't "patrol" an area the size of Spain, they should:
1)Escort them like they did in WWII. ANY unauthorised ship approaches, Davey Jones for them all.
2)Find their home base, and blockade it. NO ONE in or out.
 
It has been 200 years since pirates dared challenge the United States of America on the high seas. It was the decisive action taken by Thomas Jefferson against them. Jefferson dispatched the schooner USS Enterprise in 1801 to the same Barbary Coast where today's Somali (and as back then) Islamic pirates demanded financial tribute from the United States. The U.S. Navy soundly defeated the pirates.
Two years later the pirates were back for more. This time, they captured the USS Philadelphia along with its captain, William Bainbridge, the officers and crew and held them hostage. On the night of Feb. 16, 1804, Lt. Stephen Decatur, Jr. led a small band of the first American Marines. The Marines commandeered a Tripolitan ketch, which they re-christened USS Intrepid, to deceive the guards on board the Philadelphia and get close enough to the ship to storm the vessel. With support from American ships, the Marines set fire to the Philadelphia, preventing her use by the pirates and went on to capture the city of Tripoli. This is where the line came from in the Marine
Hymn about "the shores of Tripoli".+

Now what do I think the Marines should do about the pirates?

Kill Them All & Let God Sort It Out.

I wasn't aware of the Bainbridge and crew capture until your post. I looked up a bit more information. Very interesting. Thanks for posting this bit of history that a lot of us were unaware of.
 
There will be some political fall out crap from this I am sure. I agree with the rest of you, shoot first and let Gawd sort 'em out.
What's this I hear about the pirates and "terrorists" holding a few hundred captives and threatening retribution?
 
Nice shootin Tex!

Three gunshots. All three fatal. Fired in the dark by three specially trained U.S. Navy SEALs as the pirates' boat rocked in the water off Somalia.

"Phenomenal shots -- 75 feet away," said Navy Vice Adm. Bill Gortney, who oversees the region.
 
Now I read in the news that the somali pirates are really mad at the US navy. They're gonna get back at them. Oh ohhh..........
