| U.S. Navy Seizes Pirate Ship Off Somalia
I saw this on yahoo news this morning. I was pleasantly amused by the name of the USN ship. The person who this ship was named for is probably lighting a cigar over this. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060122/...s_navy_pirates

Country: | U know, as I have spent some time in Somolia in the past, I think the best way to deal with em is to drop em 100 yards offshore from the Camel Glue factory just outside of Mogudishu...
Out there, 15 foot Tiger Sharks cruise back and forth all day long, feeding on camel parts and dumb ass Scumbag Skinnies......

Country: | Best way to put fear into their "skinny" hearts! 
I would love to see an AH-64 start firing hellfires and using its 30mm chain gun at them! That would be pretty cool...
