Easy Layup for BHO
November 18, 2008 7:08 pm American PoliticsSomalians after humbling the US in 1993, have expanded their display of force to include seizure of a Saudi Arabian oil tanker and an Iranian grain ship. This provides a very easy way for BHO to score points. Somali pirates are no match for the US navy and do not enjoy political support. A move by BHO against them will allow him to easily display how “tough” he is with no downside. The fact that US can act unilaterally on the high seas, without any repercussions, will enhance his war-monger quotient, without making him look silly like Dukakis in a tank. Look for this to be high on his agenda in January, unless of course Bush takes away this easy layup.
Yes He can save us!

these so called “pirates” have a home base so….. gift them a parking lot… I am sure a couple of those “pretador drones ” would do a good job of keeping the sea lanes open The British were experts at having the local “warlord” find some other means of making a living, but of course that was before they got all fuzzy and huggy…. Pity

“Somaili (sic) pirates … do not enjoy political support.”
What part of the west end of Ottawa don’t you live in?
