Of course, if we had a sensible policy about piracy...

Here’s what they aren’t reporting.Perhaps an example of why instantaneous communication with the lords and masters back home isn’t always a good thing.
The Navy was right next to this lifeboat. If it wasn’t prepared to blow that boat out of the water on an instant’s notice, it was criminally lacking in readiness.
But I believe it was. I believe that the hostage captain was in the water and away from that boat for a few minutes at least. But the warship did not blow the pirates out of the water and rescue the captain because they had to phone home to the political and legal lackeys of our Transnazi President, who is determined not to wield violence on behalf of America or her citizens under any circumstances, ever.
Of course, if we had a sensible policy about piracy...
Oh, snap! What was I thinking...
