Why didn't anyone make a joke about parlay yet?
I was waiting on you. I made this thread in hopes of you making a parlay joke and you let me down! I can't count on you for anything these days...jeez.Originally Posted by MasterSwordUltima

Thankfully the captain is safe and sound... thanks to 3 US snipers. Who, at the same time, shot 3 of the pirates... so the snipers could rescue the captain.
The 4th pirate was on one of our ships trying to work things out. He is now a captive of our side. Wonder what we'll do to and/or with him?
May those 3 pirates rot in hell!

Yeah, when this first happened I saw this on the news. When I heard about how he left, I wanted to give a salute to the man, that's bravery, that's honor. It made me proud of him and all, but shit..
But as said above, he's safe now, so that's all good.

Yeah, taking out a handful of people guilty of the crime you have sent the military to deal with is so similar to killing hundreds of people who have done no crime.
I don't believe having the military kill the pirates is wrong. I believe it won't solve the problem. We're sparing a few dozen soldiers to deal with a problem the size of a country that's caused by sociopolitical issues. How's that war on drugs going? What about the war on terror? Both are more similar to this situation.
So far, the pirates either haven't killed anyone or they have killed so few that the news is not sensationalizing it. What happens when they know that if they try to bring back a hostage alive, we kill them? Something tells me that soon we won't be hearing stories about happy-go-lucky crews that overpowered the pirates and took their ships back. Instead, we'll hear horror stories as the companies have to spend weeks cleaning the blood from the instrument panels before sending the ship out on its next voyage.
Someone said in this thread that we need to "take them out... from the inside... out". Meaning go to their hide outs... disrupt their money supply line... disrupt their bases... etc.
Stop trying to fight them once they've caused trouble... disrupt 'em BEFORE they get to do anything...

We sure taught them a lesson. Sure they failed to board this ship, but they're attacking with RPGs and automatic weapons.
I can't tell if this is true because of the sixth-grade grammar and organization skills of the CNN writers, but the fifth paragraph leads me to believe it's possible this ship had a military escort when it was attacked.
prolly did..
but anyways we are trying to tip toe around them so as not to piss of china... seeing how they own the US now.
If you are caught by the gorillas, you must remember one thing.
What's that?
Never to speak!
What the hell would I have to say to a gorilla?
