Kerry Calls For Pirate Hearings

[red states rule]

Kerry can now feel useful again. Meetings, pirate commission, 1000 page report- all brought to you by the worthless liberal idiots in Congress.

[glockmail]

interestingly, it appears the founders started out with hearings....



it wasn't until 1801 that the decision was made to put an end to piracy....

Sure, which means that we don't have to hold hearings again.

ah, but to a congressmen, a hearing is not held to hear, but to speak.....

Rumor has it the Committee will make a fact-finding trip to Atlantis this summer.

Kerry's plan is to make the Somali Pirates write up their own evals for a NAM and a Silver Star, and then, while they are busy filling out the paperwork Kerry will shoot them all in the ass with a rice gun

And this is the administration that will control your security here in America. I feel better, how about you?

When four thugs floating around in a row boat in the middle of the ocean can hold America hostage, how can Obama possibly stand up to Iran or North Korea?

I want to know one thing. When the captain went overboard trying to swim away from his captors why didnt we blow the damn boat out of the water, or simply shoot it up. Are we now the US of Code Pink?

Oh yea!

A hearing

That'll show'em.

I can't wait to see the sternly worded memo they will issue following a 2-week conclave on this



Kerry calls for pirate hearings as drama continues

The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee called for hearings on the mounting piracy threat as the fate of an American cargo-ship captain remained in limbo Thursday.

"These acts of piracy off of Somalia’s coastline may seem surreal, but they’re all too real and a thorough policy debate is long overdue," said Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) in a statement. "When Americans, including at least one from Massachusetts, are endangered, you’ve got a complicated and dangerous international situation brewing, and that includes questions about a hot-pursuit policy on Somalia’s coastline."

Well we all know there has to be someone to blame, and its certainly not going to be the terr-....pirates. I'm sure its the fault of some greedy capitalist nation that has put these poor people in such a desparate situation, forcing them to turn to violence.

Why isnt Obama out in front on this? He's hiding from this disaster and running away from the questions about it.

What a great leader.

I would think it would be pretty easy to determine which harbor or town these pirates use as a home base....I say, pick them all up and put them all in custody somewhere, then ask the pirates if they would like to come get them and take them home......

[red states rule]

ah, but to a congressmen, a hearing is not held to hear, but to speak.....

Knowing the Dems, they'll probably call Johnny Depp as an expert witness

The only way to deal with pirates is to blow them out of the water.

[Mr. P]

The only hearing I'm interested in hearing is the sound of a 50 cal from the destroyer deck.

Was Kerry for the pirates before he was against them?

Donno about Kerry but Bambam seems to be. They could of blown these idiots outta the water the other day when the hostage made a swim for it...but NOOOoooooooooo.

I'll tell ya, IF I were in charge that ship would be up close an personal and my best marksmen would have a bead on every pirate head in that boat. When the time was right..POW..four pirates become fish food.

A hearing?

That's almost as good as voting 'present'

It'll backfire on Kerry.

The pirates will take the 5th before his committee.

It doesn't work, publicity wise, to browbeat handicapped people who have eye patches and wooden legs.

Yes a hearing. They'd hear: RELEASE THE CAPTAIN NOW!

That would be the LAST thing they heard from me.
