Why is there still a Somalia?

To quote Tuco (from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly), "if it's time to shoot, shoot. Don't talk..."

Can we agree that it's time to shoot?

Four Americans taken from their yacht in the Indian Ocean by Somali pirates have been shot dead, the US military has said.

US naval forces on the way to try to rescue the Americans heard gunshots and on arrival found the four hostages had been killed.

Two pirates were killed and 15 detained during the incident, which took place on Monday.

The remains of two other pirates, who had been dead for some time, were found. The US military did not state how those two died. In total the US said 19 pirates were involved in the hijacking of the American's yacht, the Quest.

I ask again, why is there still a Somalia? And what, exactly, are the navies of the world for if not for dealing with exactly this kind of thing?

Raising US prestige

President Obama: Winning new respect for the United States in Europe...

Watch out, France and Co, there is a new surrender monkey on the block and, over the next four years, he will spectacularly sell out the interests of the West with every kind of liberal-delusionist initiative on nuclear disarmament and sitting down to negotiate with any power freak who wants to buy time to get a good ICBM fix on San Francisco, or wherever. If you thought the world was a tad unsafe with Dubya around, just wait until President Pantywaist gets into his stride.
