Re: How SEALs Carried Out Their Mission

"From now on, if we capture foreign ships and their respective countries try to attack us, we will kill them (the hostages)," Jamac Habeb, a 30-year-old pirate, told the Associated Press from one of Somalia's piracy hubs, Eyl. "(U.S. forces have) become our No. 1 enemy."
Okey dokey dude...

I still have that little tune buzzing around in the back of my head...

It's certainly a toe tapper...

I really miss the chance to assist my brothers and sisters in the Marines this time...This coming from your favorite "rustpicker"! :patriot:

Lets see if we have some iota of leadership that will give the go to clean this mess up...

I believe what we have on station should do the job nicely...I think it is rather fortunate that it is the "Bainbridge" (destroyer) and the Boxer (with her Marines)...

Lets hope that leadership doesn't get bogged down (wasting time) in trying to build a coalition of nations to take care of a bunch of thugs...

The other countries effected have already capitulated by paying ransoms to these criminals...Why should we even bother with them to see if they want to join in on the fun???

Just my opinion...

Sad to say, those pirates probably had no clue what they would be up against when they picked on a boat with the name "Alabama".
Well, if the SEaLs had not deployed when they did, I heard the Redneck Special Ops team "Alabama division" was ready to go...

Bubba, Rufus, Thibedoux and Cletus are some of the best! :thumbs2:

Re: How SEALs Carried Out Their Mission

Even though the distance between the fantail and the lifeboat was 75-80 feet...The pitching of both platforms (ship and the lifeboat) that would have to be a very difficult shot to get off, much less a coordinated shot between three separate shooters...

I am glad it turned out this way for the hostage, but I am a bit skeptical of the account...

The SEaLs parachuted in??? Then they coordinated on the Bainbridge??? (Too many disconnects in the deployment methods, but I can afford to be nitpicky, because I know a few things... ;-) )

But whatever the true story is, the outcome was good...

Now the real story begins...Obviously the stakes are higher...What will our government do to reduce/eliminate the threat to civilians and commerce in this volatile area???

Any Marines care to chime in??? A little tune in my head is playing...The first stanza is rather appropriate...
