Snipers vs Pirates

The investment paid off recently when – in a remarkable rescue – SEAL snipers on the U.S. destroyer Bainbridge freed Capt. Richard Phillips by picking off three Somali pirates with simultaneous shots from 100 feet away in rolling seas as the sun went down.

  1. Finally, please stop the madness. Will the O man kiss all of the Pirates asse’s or just bow to them like he did in Saudi. I have been there, never going bach, turn the sand into glass. Bitter? YES I AM.

  2. I’m skeptical of the comment by asdas. I’m thinking it’s really a spam… but I let it slide through for some reason. Sometimes it’s hard to tell. asdas, if you’re real, post another comment.

  3. Sometimes I wonder if any of us are real or if I’m just posting in my mind. If so, I’ve picked an ecclectic, entertaining, and insightful (or should that be enciteful) group of imaginary friends. Now, if I could just straighten out the font Infidel’s using all would be right. What is that, INFI-Compressed?

  4. Rush Limpballs refused to call them Pirates he said they were “Black Merchant Marineers try to make a Buck”

  5. Has Infidel been posting comments? The only pink squares I see now are from someone going by the name of ‘Walter’.

  6. With the price of ammo going up like it is, the ratio of ransom to bullet may be equal soon.
    That said, use bullets now to save money. The only payoff these terrorists (Yes, I said it) should expect is to get to meet their maker at a young age.

  7. You’re right Milwaukee Mike. They are thieves, thugs, criminals, hijackers, kidnappers and terrorists. I don’t know much about this Rush Limpball guy except he has a big mouth and is a known drug addict. If he isn’t getting a kick back from his Somolian buddies, then maybe he should be put on one of these cargo ships when they decide to board by force with ammunition. I’d like to see if his fat body would quiver and say Welcome aboard, matey.

  8. These clowns have 250 hostages, all ships going through The Horn of Africa should be armed. It is hard to believe they pull up along side of a huge cargo ship and use grappling hooks to climb aboard. dunno.

  9. I must be be missing something. I can read all of infi’s comments just fine, thank you. The latest off of the Somali coast: An Italian cruise ship was attacked. Lo and behold, it was being defended by a group of paid Israeli mercenaries. “Whoa, Allah. Let’s get the camel’s butt out of here…”

  10. never thought I would see the return of pirates. Must be all those horrible recent movies on the subject…you know the ones I am talking about.

  11. Israel’s eh? Did they sink the boat? I will reboot, nothing but pink squares here. He might be blocking some of us.

  12. I re-installed Windows, got new wallpaper, organized my bookmarks, got rid of my avatar, but still nothing helps. I’m going to put my mouse and monitor in the dishwasher to see if that makes any difference. I still think he’s screwing with us. Or he just wants to be pink like Mr. Jonco.

  13. KLAW – No, they did not sink the boat, but the pirates were in such a hurry to escape that they climbed out and started running across the sea, pulling their boat behind them. Don’t I wish…

  14. nothing a well placed rpg cant fix. do pirates get virgins or rum when they meet there maker. ether way a 20mm mounted in the crows nest would make short work of any speed boat that got near a ship.

  15. terrorism:there is no permanent soultion to this problem, but better do something before they join al-qaida
