Zezman Sekura-Corporation	Posted - 2009.04.12 23:47:00 - [1] linkie So, Captain Richard Phillips was rescued in a Navy Seals Operation that was right out of Hollywood! One Somali pirate was captured while three others were killed by seals' sniper fire. Apparently the decision was made when Navy observers saw one of the Pirates aim an AK-47 against the captain's back. My question is... when is the movie coming out? :D Capt. Richard Phillips is bound to become one of the most famous and richest ship's captains, just imagine him showing up at every late night TV show, Letterman, Leno, morning news shows, radio venues... book deals. Etc. I knew he'd be rescued, and I won't be surprised if American media as a serious field day with his story, once he's back home that is. Who do you think will produce the movie? And who should act in it?

I'm just worried that Islam extremists will take this as a sign that the US can not be negotiated with and that violence is the only way for them to get what they want.

Well sadly they would have thought that or we dont stand up for our own, if choosing between the two I would choose the latter. Also I doubt the main reason these guys are doing piracy is because they want a holy war, its probably because they want money.

Doubt it, even if the pirates were muslim they were attacking targets of opperatunity where as extremists typically attack with a political agenda. In reality, the pirates had been playing the odds that they wouldnt eventually hit a ship that had a crew that was going to fight back and have a government come to its aid. Their number came up when they went after a ship with an american crew, took an american hostage, and didnt give him up the moment the american navy got involved. Their number came up today and now they have navial ships gunning for them. -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase: Players who post are like stars, there are bright ones and those who are dim.
MooKids Caldari The Graduates Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2009.04.13 02:54:00 - [11] Edited by: MooKids on 13/04/2009 02:57:19 Well, if the pirates actually gave up the captain when the crew returned their man, they would still be alive. But they got stupid and greedy and it cost them their lives. I just wonder if the captured pirate is the one that the crew originally captured. EDIT: Going on what Jacob Mei said, I think the crew stated that the pirates freaked out once they discovered that the ship and crew were American. Most of these pirates also aren't Muslim extremists, which seems to be a popular subject. True they might be Muslim, but they aren't doing this for religious beliefs, they just want money. In the beginning, it might have been noble intentions, stopping foreigners from stealing their fish, but greed took over. -------------------------------- CCP can patch away bugs, but they can't patch away stupidity.

"From now on, if we capture foreign ships and their respective countries try to attack us, we will kill them [the hostages]," Well if they do this then ships will start arming themselves/ hiring mercs to protect them and if the **** really hits the fan.... We can form convoys of merchant vessels with cruiser/destroyer escorts.

From what I heard, these particular pirates were Islamic extremists who are (were) trying to overthrow the Somalian government and instate an Islamic theocracy in Somalia.

"From now on, if we capture foreign ships and their respective countries try to attack us, we will kill them [the hostages]," Pirates go after the crew more than the cargo for ransom value. They wont ever just kill off the entire crew and keep the ship, they do that and they might as well put a bullet between their eyes and save the navy some trouble in hunting them down because thats exactly what would happen. -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase: Players who post are like stars, there are bright ones and those who are dim.

Three guesses which channel this is I thought that a major part of the problem was that Somalia doesn't have a government. Or at least not one that has any actual control over the country. Other pirates have promised revenge for this, thus showing that they are idiots. Quote: "Killing three out of thousands of pirates will only escalate piracy," said Sheikh Abdullahi Sheikh Abu Yusuf, spokesman of the moderate Islamist group Ahlu Sunna Waljamaca. How many pirates need to be killed before the piracy stops ?

Dirk Magnum Royal Hiigaran Navy SCUM.	Posted - 2009.04.13 05:17:00 - [21] Nice to see the SEALs finally getting used productively. Their performance in land-based operations has been questionable, from what I've heard. Then again "what I've heard" comes from Army guys so there could always be some bias there. Anyway the only way to stop piracy is the same way you stop any other illegal job that nets you more money than a legal job is to combat the criminals themselves when the opportunity presents itself, but more importantly work to make the economic environment of Somalia (etc.) better so fewer people are tempted to take to a criminal lifestyle. I mean that's just common sense. Of course putting together an actual workable plan to affect those changes is a lot harder.

Brilliant! That threat is all any government needs to park warships off the pirate haven of Eyl and run interdiction missions, searching for weapons and sinking motherships in the harbor. And seriously, the pirates are ed that someone FINALLY did something about them breaking international law that didn't involve rewarding them? Tough **.

Unless something has changed since I stopped watching the news? It sounds like it just has a government in theory but no power what so ever to use on its people to stop the piracy. To be honest I wont be surprised that if the pirates start killing, and the government (predictably) does nothing about it, I can see several governments declaring the region officaly a rogue nation and going in to "liberate" it. It will be interesting to find out if Obama orders the destroyer(s) to stay in the area for longer than a few days or call them back now that the capt. is safe. -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase: Players who post are like stars, there are bright ones and those who are dim.

No no no. Yarr! Somalia is a failed state - it's internationally recognized government is little more than a single faction in a civil war. A semblance of normality is held up in it's capital city via African Union forces, but that's it. The pirates are usually villagers who have had it up to the back teeth of living in poverty whilst the richest people in the world ship their stuff barely a mile out from shore. It also means they can afford to live more comfortably - much like lowsec pirates in EVE. ________________________________________________ http://eve.drome.nl/CaodCleaner/ Help make CAOD readable.
