Time to Re-educate the Somali Pirates

NY Company's Ship Damaged In Somali Pirate Attack - Ship Carrying Food For Famine-Stricken Africa

quote:
Somali pirates attacked and damaged an American ship carrying humanitarian aid Tuesday, but the ship and crew were safe under Navy escort, the military and shipping company said. The pirates fired rocket-propelled grenades and automatic weapons at the Liberty Sun as it carried food for famine-wracked African nations, said the vessel's owner, Liberty Maritime Corp.

It appears that the Somali pirates have a very poor learning curve. There is about to be a major can of whoop a$$ opened up on them in the near future, courtesy of the Department of the Navy. We should also find out who is supplying them with arms. As soon as the Navy gets notice that a ship is under attack, they need to put up some air support and engage the pirates as hostiles. There will be a lot of oil slicks in that area, until the pirates learning curve improves.
