Are We Now At War With Pirates?A few years ago, if we thought Johnny Depp-like characters would have the ability to hold the world shipping lanes hostage, we’d be thinking someone got access to the evidence locker. But the international community now appears hamstrung and unable to stop pirates from seizing ships, but also unable to come up with a gameplan once they do. Note to the good guys: al Qaeda is watching.

There are already reports that a lot of this pirate activity is funding terrorism.
Let’s do what we did on the Barbary coast: Send in the Marines!

I say we hold the Indians responsible for paying them off.
NYdonkeyrider: Funding terrorists? They ARE terrorists.

I wouldn’t call them terrorists; I’d call them the campaign finance advisers to the major terrorist organizations or perhaps even the backers. You know, like Soros, aloof and unconnected to the organization at large.
Sheesh, you’re acting like we should connect the president-elect with terrorists just because he associates with them and suspicious foreign nationals; has made questionable trips to foreign countries; and spouts the same anti-American drivel that you hear on the floor of the UN general assembly.

The crew of future ships should be armed and trained for this contingency in case of attack. Further we have the means of tracking them at our disposal and it really is only a matter of time.

Sorry, but don’t count on the OZ Navy being anywhere near world trouble-spots. They’re going home for Chrissie. Can you imagine the quality of the “2000 recruits?” A life on the ocean wave, a life on the rolling deep – me thinks not! Then again, this action is sure to attract a ship load of Poofters (shirt lifters), Dunces and Fowl F*****s (those who have sexual relations with chickens.

Australian Navy Gets 62-Day Xmas Leave
Wednesday, November 19, 2008
Australia’s navy has been given a two-month Christmas break, in the hope that by making naval life more family friendly, it will attract the 2,000 recruits needed for the service to achieve its target strength of 15,000 sailors.
Commanders have ordered all ships not on overseas operations to return to port over the holiday, while docked vessels would have only a skeleton crew to maintain on-board security.
“The stand down will not impact operations and is to ensure that our people who are not required on operations are able to take a meaningful period of time off and spend time with their families,” Rear Admiral Davyd Thomas, the deputy navy chief, said.
The navy faces serious staff shortages, with a 27% annual recruitment shortfall exacerbated by more than one in 10 personnel leaving the service each year.
