I smell a rat. The pirates have collected a rather large Booty. Has the
Somali Govt. asked for their share of the plunder? The US Navy is on
scene ready to help the Somali Govt. rid their country of the pirates.
All we need from them is intel. and, as a diplomatic courtesy,
permission to do what's needed.

I am glad Mr. Obama has been kept informed of developments. How
embarrassing it would be if a US flagged ship was attacked and our
leader wasn't made privy to the measures being taken by our government.
