1. now its time to clean out the nest and get the other hostages N/T

[dem629]

2. Yep. I think we'll see more of this with our military assets in place.

7. i hope theres not splashback, theres a lot of militant somalis living in the US

theres even been a few disappearing and turning up as bombers abroad. We got to fight the pirates but we have to be aware there may be consequences.

18. That's interesting...

where do they hide in the U.S.? Long before 9/11 it was common knowledge that Jersey City was a hotbed of underground radical Palestinian groups. The area was made up of many peaceful ethnic groups including a well integrated Palestinian community.

Where are they?

19. Militant? - they are freaking refugees who just want to live in peace here in the US

Nice bigotry there though

3. Yup...kill all of the Pirates to prevent other incidents...KILL UM ALL ASAP

[walkaway]

9. Somalia is an entire country full of desperate people.

There may be hundreds of thousands of people to take their place. Do you really want to kill them all or are you just being sarcastic.

When you have nothing, you have nothing to lose. And you are deadly dangerous.

15. All I'm sayin is NO MERCY TO PIRACY...all pirates must GET to know its suicidal

5. That captain is a true American maritime hero. He risked his life for his crew.

Huzzah

...and we should not forget the bravery of the sailors and marines that rescued him.

Huzzah again.

8. Not sure

I'll wait for the details. I'm really glad he was rescued, but I do wish CNN would stop telling me that the easter Sunday Church goers got their miracle since he was rescued long before they headed to church.

Indeed the bimbo on CNN seems very upset that the family had been informed of his release hours before CNN knocked on their door. Looks like they thought they'd be the bearers of this news. The arrogance of M$Greedia is breath-taking.

10. God just gave them their miracle before they asked for it because he knew they would ask

See, it all works out.

[malaise]

12. yep

:D

[jpak]

11. Not sure? WTF - the captain offered himself up to the pirates to protect his crew.

He made a daring escape attempt.

He survived the rescue operation.

Hero

period

[malaise]

13. Like I said I'll wait for the details

because not one captain or crew member has been killed before.

[jpak]

14. Those ARE the fucking details

ugh

17. I wonder what the republicans will harp on now.

After all, this was supposed to be Obama's Iranian Hostage Situation.
