Fighting Piracy and What Did He Call Obama?


Normally, we're on about the economy. Today piracy comes to the foremost in our minds. What to do about it? Technology has been cited as an aid in the fight against it. But we're concerned that it is still not enough.
The US Navy has stated that the seaways cover about 2.5 million square miles. That is a lot of sea territory and no one naval force should be able to patrol it even by half. Would the UN or a combined naval force be able to combat this threat? Possibly.
Then we thought about the possibility that some nations might be planning to bomb and strike Somalia flat. Of course, that can't be done. Innocent women and children would die and suffer.
Perhaps they might be thinking of striking just the coastline of Somalia. The possibility of some very surgical strikes and raids on this coastline should be possible. It would also be devastating to some of the ports used by the pirates. Of course, advance notice would have to be given. We know this sounds an awful like the "Shock and Awe" strategy that was used to start the Iraq War. It is, however, much more limited.
Then, these forces might possibly line the waters off the coastline with mine technology as a deterrent to piracy. Again, warning would have to be given.
The last thing would be send in the UN forces to combat the lawlessness in the land itself. We know it is monstrous task to undertake. But, it seems reasonable in that it would (re)introduce the rule of law to at least portions of the country. Lives and money will be lost. But, if left undone the spread of piracy would go unchecked. What is your plan Mr. Obama?
Speaking of the future leader of the Free World, just what did Ayman al-Zawahiri call our new Big Guy? Oh no, he didn't! We don't have a good answer to that, but to just hunt down al-Zawahiri and bring him to justice while teaching him some manners. He deserves to get b-slapped around a little before and after we put the cuffs on him.
