Gentlemen,

Perhaps our Russan friends do not build the best cars. But when one of their oil tankers is hijacked off the Somali coast they don't mess around. This film clip was forwarded to me by USN Admiral (Retired) Davis who currently lives in San Diego. This videotape shows Russian Navy commandos on a Somali pirate ship shortly after the pirates had captured a Russian oil tanker. The Euro Union Navy that patrols these waters would not interfere because they feared there could be casualties. The soldiers freed their compatriots and the tanker. The Russian Navy Commandos moved the pirates back to their own pirate ship, searched the pirate ship for weapons and explosives, and then they left the ship and exploded it with all remaining pirates hand-cuffed to it.

The commandos sank the pirate ship along with the pirates and without any court proceedings, lawyers etc. That is, they used the anti-piracy laws of the 18th and 19th centuries where the captain of the rescuing ship has the right to decide what to do with the pirates. Usually, they were hanged.

I would think that after this episode, from now on, Russian ships will not be targets for Somali pirates. Summary Justice!

And it took the US 9.5 yrs to find Osama? I love the message here...."Don't Mess With Texas". Referring to trash along the roadways.....supposedly. Perhaps it should be our National slogan. You have to make believers out of troublemaking adversaries....or it will continue.

Nice not to have Flamming America liberal attorneys trying to ensure that the pirate "victims" of western imperalism get a fair legal processing and being tried in a public court in Manhatten to make sure they receive appropriate and compasionate justice!

Perhaps this could be an opportunity for a "friendly" competition between our seals, Russian commandos, and anyone else who would like to join. Points could be awarded for pirate ships captured and destroyed, friendly ships captured by pirates and freed, and pirates eliminated.
