What are we doing? What the @!#? are we doing? There's a little rowboat full of islamo-pirates out of gas, surrounded by our Navy and they're holding the skipper hostage and we're negotiating? Do we have no snipers? On 5 guys. 1-2-3-4-5....KABLAM....all pirates dead, skipper safe, post vid on youtube and call it a day. Why are we screwing around negotiating with 2-bit pirates? Oh wait. I forgot. We are being led by people who like to "talk"and "negotiate" large sums of money to terrorists in exchange for "peace". God save us from the talkers. This could take all month to resolve and by the end of it, the pirates will have one of our Navy ships and the skipper will have his throat cut. There is a time for everything under the sun, including "diplomacy" but even a 3rd grader could see that now is not one of those times. The world (and the pirates) are watching. It's time for action. Are we seriously going to let the United States Navy sit impotent in the water against a ROWBOAT OF TERRORISTS?Note to anyone listening. If I am ever captured by pirates, I forgo my rights for negotiating a safe release....BLOW THE HELL OUT OF EM! (Me included, okay?) What is this that we are doing and saying to the world? Terrorize us. We'll just sit there. Seems to me that the crew was doing just fine on their own before the government got involved. I heard there were pirates "in the water"...hopefully floating face down. And can I just ask, why WHY aren't all crews of all ships travelling in pirate-infested waters ARMED??? How is it that a rowboat full of unwashed illiterates can even get close enough to a ship to overtake it in the first place?
This situation calls for old-world solutions. All pirates will be hanged on site from the topmost sail of any vessel that captured them. Thomas Jefferson once had this problem with the Barbary pirates (basically the forefathers of the idiots who are floating in the rowboat as I type). Jefferson didn't negotiate. He sent in the Marines to clean out the shores of Tripoli. They wore leather on their necks to protect them from the sabers and the beheadings. (Sound familiar?) This earned the Marines the nickname, "leathernecks" and lent to the famous song...From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli....makes sense now doesn't it?
When you need something destroyed, absolutely, positively, overnight....call the Marines.

I suppose it's just an old naval rule to not allow non military sea vessels carry weaponry. Apparently it staves off mutiny.
