USNavy SEALs free ship's captain, ensure aid delivery to Africa

How many folks do think can answer the questions: What was that ship, captured off the Somolia coast, delivering? What could not get to Somolia because of Islamo-Nazi jihadists? Do you know?

The American flagged ship, which was manned entirely by Americans, was carrying food to feed "hundred of thousands of starving people in Somalia."

How I would have loved to see the headline, "American Navy frees captain and ensures Somolia aid delivery." If Main Stream Media wrote headlines like that instead of headlines like, "Standoff with Somolia pirates shows limits to U.S. power" do you think the world would see America in a slightly different light?

This is the kind of international cooperation I wholeheartedly endorse.
SAN'A, Yemen - Seven pirates opened fire on a German naval supply ship in the Gulf of Aden but were chased down and captured by an international anti-piracy task force, the U.S. Navy and European officials said Monday.

In the attack on the German ship, pirates apparently mistook German FGS Spessart [Mohammad, why is the infidel's panty-waist corporate tanker shooting back?] supply vessel for a commercial ship when they opened fire on it on Sunday afternoon, U.S. Navy 5th Fleet spokesman Lt. Nate Christensen said.

The German sailors returned fire and pursued the skiff while also calling in for support. Several naval ships - including a Greek and a Dutch frigate, a Spanish warship and the USS Boxer - sped to the area while a Spanish marine aircraft and two U.S. Marine Cobra helicopters joined the pursuit.

Five hours later, Greek sailors reached the pirate skiff, boarded it and seized the seven suspects and their weapons, including assault rifles and rocket-propelled grenades, the Greek navy said. The suspects were disarmed and transferred for questioning to the German frigate Rheinland-Pfalz where they remain Monday, pending a decision on whether they will be legally prosecuted, Christensen said.



Now about this question on whether or not this scum will be prosecuted ...
