When the three remaining pirates on the Maersk Alabama lifeboat popped their heads,
in dim morning light, three assets took them out in under (probably) half
a second. From 30 metres, but the targets were on a tethered boat.
Interesting shot, probably practiced, but damn.

Of course, the whole thing could be a setup, an excuse to invade Somalia again.
What are the chances of a US-flagged ship ---there are very few--- carrying
starvation-relief (Oh the PR Gods are smiling on US) was hijacked, and the
captain got the rest of the crew sequestered?

Its just too sweet.

Of course, if a half-black president invades a medium-black african country,
who's going to complain?

I'm not a cartoonist, but the image of a lifeboat with three pirates tethered
to the nuclear destroyer Bainbridge is just too classic.

Piracy FAIL.
