Go Navy!

Some of the boys took a break from Sleeping, Eating, And Lifting to bust caps in three of the pirates, freeing the captain and leaving the fourth pirate to be brought back to America in chains and hung from a gibbet at the entrance of New York Harbor as a warning to other would-be aquatic miscreants. (Well, a girl can dream, can't she?)

Apparently the C-in-C had given the trigger pullers all the clearance they needed, and good job on that, Barry. A suggestion? While you've got a couple destroyers, an amphibious assault ship, and a bunch of Marines and SEALs over there, you could maybe engage in a bit of nest-burning? After all, killing individual alligators doesn't solve the problem; draining the swamp does, and you're unlikely to find less resistance in the international community than right after a very photogenic hijacking/rescue scenario that reads like a Clancy novel.
