What a frigging joke.
Pirates off the eastern coast of Africa fired on U.S. sailors Saturday as they tried to reach the lifeboat where an American captain is being held, a U.S. official familiar with the situation told CNN.
The gunfire forced the sailors, who did not return fire, back to the guided missile destroyer USS Bainbridge, the official said.
Way to go O'Bama!
The U.S. Navy -- which is in charge of the situation -- requested help from the FBI to resolve the standoff. The FBI is launching a criminal investigation into the hijacking and hostage-taking, two law enforcement officials told CNN. The probe will be led by the FBI's New York field office, which has responsibility for looking into cases involving U.S. citizens in the African region. Agents from the office were scheduled to leave for Africa sometime this weekend, the officials said.
Oooooooo, I'll bet they're REALLY scared now...
Good stuff from Jimbo:
UPDATE: He's been rescued!
Captain Richard Phillips jumped over-board again and this time the Navy capitalized and killed three pirates and captured a fourth.
Bravo Zulu Navy!

on the tail of pirates all will be well. Nothing to see here, move along. Those weren't pirates, they are just misunderstood youth from the southside of Chicago.
This is very sad. We are supposed to be a Super Power. I guess we are no longer a Super Power.
