Expect Many More Such Attacks
Somali pirates have hijacked an American Flag container ship and now it is up to President Obama to respond. Unfortunately, my prediction is that this will be the first of many if Obama doesn’t respond correctly.
Many individuals and countries are activily looking to harm this country and our fellow citizens. As the old saying goes “Walk softly and carry a big stick” is now more true than ever.
Recent provocations have come from Iran, North Korea, Russia, China and even pipsqueak Venezuala. They will grow more brazen with time.
Please, President Obama, don’t respond with more “talks.” Your job is to protect US citizens and this country. I wish you well in your job!
Well, I don’t really think this is part of a president’s job; to save people from predators. I would say it is up to the crew to respond, in “violation” of the “law” if necessary. No one should EVER go out onto the high seas, nor close to shore, without being adequately armed.
