(I looked for a thread on this, I hope I'm not repeating things) http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/piracy” 3:59:45 PM 4/12/09 “(I looked for a thread on this, I hope I'm not repeating things) If you did some sweetheart will let you know. Great news!!” 4:02:53 PM 4/12/09 “Only fools mess with SEALS.” 6:47:04 PM 4/12/09 “Here's to Captain Phillips and the SEALS who got him out! A great combination of patience and readiness to strike very swiftly when needed.” 7:28:37 PM 4/12/09 “sweet.” 8:54:26 PM 4/12/09 “the fuego version of this is getting a little too much attention so i thought i'd give this one a bumpidy bump bump i was very proud or our military when i heard this” 10:09:40 AM 4/13/09 “to steel mutt's observation the shooting was pretty amazing...i know they're seals and all but even still, wow...3 simultaneous head shots both from and two a boat...i'm not sure what the sea conditions were like but even in the best of conditions there's still some movement” 10:20:52 AM 4/13/09 “Pulling a trigger with flippers is no small accomplishment either.” 10:38:01 AM 4/13/09 “...while balancing a ball on your nose” 10:48:47 AM 4/13/09 “.i'm not sure what the sea conditions were like but even in the best of conditions there's still some movement” choppy.. i think 7-12'” 11:10:46 AM 4/13/09 “LOL@nimble and thrifty, One of my associates is a former SEAL. Someone asked him about the "balancing a ball" thing. His reply,"They cover that while we are learning to play the airhorns."” 11:40:48 AM 4/13/09 “Did you see how the Italians were pissed because 'we' spent all of that time and effort to save ONE person, when there are like 10 Italians being held hostage by pirates... I guess that they are hoping 'we' rescue them as well. '32oz” 11:43:47 AM 4/13/09 “A head shot in those condition is incredible.” 2:06:29 PM 4/13/09 “Heck Center of mass is tough in those conditions. Guys the President is the Commander in Chief. He is responsible for all actions the military takes and screws up. So congrats PrezBO” 5:45:31 AM 4/14/09 “XL.. I was thinking along those lines, but didn't want this to go Fuego... Obama put his 'don't eff with us' stamp on this one.. SHould be interesting to see how future events out there transpire due to this.. '32oz” 5:51:46 AM 4/14/09 “Um one only has to remember Kadaffy Duck in Libya and how Reagan ended his little manuvers. I would like to see the Pirate Home bases (at least the boats) knocked out but then....” 5:58:11 AM 4/14/09 “ROTFLMAO.... http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,517231,00.html Ron Kuby, a New York-based civil rights lawyer, said he has been in discussions about forming a legal team to represent the Somalian. "I think in this particular case, there's a grave question as to whether America was in violation of principles of truce in warfare on the high seas," said Kuby. "This man seemed to come onto the Bainbridge under a flag of truce to negotiate. He was then captured. There is a question whether he is lawfully in American custody and serious questions as to whether he can be prosecuted because of his age." In the end the Captain of the Bainbridge and the crew will be prosecuted by PrezBO for violating the "rights" of the Pirate....” 7:14:58 AM 4/22/09 “The teenager's arrival came on the same day that his mother appealed to President Barack Obama for his release. She says her son was coaxed into piracy by "gangsters with money." My baby din't do nuffin! We want asylum in the US! And we want to bring over 150 of our immediate family, too.” 7:18:55 AM 4/22/09 “Personally I agree with the lawsuit.. They did not have the right to capture him. Let this be a lesson.. Next time they need to release him back into the water. Of course they can keep his boat since that was used in the act of a crime... '32oz” 7:22:36 AM 4/22/09 “Keel haul or walk the plank.” 7:47:07 AM 4/22/09 “xactly... after they through some chum in the water... '32oz” 7:48:24 AM 4/22/09 “Of course they can keep his boat since that was used in the act of a crime... '32oz 32ozgatorade 10:22:36 AM 4/22/09 they can keep his boat because it wasn't his boat. it was the lifeboat of an american flagged ship. last edited: 4/22/09 8:02:59 AM” 7:57:50 AM 4/22/09 “I like Keel Haul for this guy.” 8:01:58 AM 4/22/09 “This country knows a bit about gangstas, isn't a foreign exchange program available?” 8:29:46 AM 4/22/09 “Nah 32 you hang him from a halyard and let him slowly go through the props...LOL I think just dust the pirates and take the empty boat and let em drift back to shore. I guarantee after a few empty boats come home the theory of piracy will lose its luster.” 8:34:45 AM 4/22/09 “Tie them to the anchor and let it sink. Kinda like water-boarding, except we don't care if they talk. lol, lol, lol...” 9:31:56 AM 4/22/09 “Typical silly libby, as cruel as a czar.” 10:53:50 AM 4/22/09 “Now now DrunkO don't go Russian into anything (LOL). Lets just Steppe back and take a break. I think the best thing that could happen to the guy (he is 18) is to be imprisoned in the US.” 12:47:01 PM 4/22/09 “Make him type your posts for about 5 years. That should do it.” 1:50:09 PM 4/22/09 “he's from somalia. make him spend his winters living in Nimble's house and he'll be cured of crime for life.” 6:02:35 PM 4/22/09 “39 above in the living room will do that, but I think my suggestions is worse (and therefore better). Where the hell you been?” 6:38:50 PM 4/22/09 “When we abandon our justice system, are we any better than the pirates?” 4:25:07 AM 4/23/09 “Here-here!!” 5:27:28 AM 4/23/09 “Sure Chili....um but our justice system does not reach outside the borders of the Nation....as many Americans find out each year. The somali pirates are international criminals. You know the Brits are in a bit of a pickle because their system was changed to give Brit rights to the Pirates and BOOM they really have to endanger sailors to impede pirates.” 5:33:15 AM 4/23/09 “Um...............U.S. justice reached to Nuremburg, did it not? There was some of that going on in Tokyo or there abouts, too.” 5:37:00 AM 4/23/09 “Don't ask, don't tell, at last a good use for the slogan.” 6:02:32 AM 4/23/09 “Um...............U.S. justice reached to Nuremburg, did it not? There was some of that going on in Tokyo or there abouts, too. MarkO 5:37:00 AM 4/23/09 No actually DrunkO Nuremburg was a "world court" of sorts. The fact that American (actually Texas Jurisprudence proceedures) were used was because the officer in charge had one of his JAG officers draw up the proceedural methods for the trial. That lawyer later went on to found a law firm in Dallas, Texas and I remember seeing the documents from Nuremburg on his wall when my father worked for him. See DrunkO its called history. As for our legal system the President really has no way to Execute (hence the Executive Branch) the laws of our nation outside our borders. Hard to take but there are lots of American Twits rotting in foriegn jails who were arrested on bad charges, improperly interrogated and then sentenced on trumped up crap. Excellent example would be 44 US Citizens on AMERICAN SOIL in an Embassy who are taken hostage for 400 or so days by the Government of that nation. Eventually the US passes a law allowing them to seek damages..but Cartuh 2.0 just shot them down.” 6:47:54 AM 4/23/09 “Swift deadly justice is the surest and (in the long run) most humane cure for piracy. The somalis aren't stupid.” 6:48:23 AM 4/23/09 “You contradicted yourself nicely, XLax. ”7:25:50 AM 4/23/09 “UM Marko...technically UM it was English Justice if you want to follow your ETOH line of thinking...()LOL)” 7:50:29 AM 4/23/09 “Keep squirmin', AWOL.....LOLOLO” 8:22:52 AM 4/23/09 ““Um...............U.S. justice reached to Nuremburg, did it not? There was some of that going on in Tokyo or there abouts, too.” MarkO 8:37:00 AM 4/23/09 Marko is suggesting that we invade somalia with an overwhelming force and install a puppet government so that we can have trials on somalia soil. The damn left has turned into war firsters.” 8:24:18 AM 4/23/09 “HyWay is suggesting that XLax and Mutt have a fisting war using each other as sock puppets and overwhelmingly soil themselves in the process.” 8:27:22 AM 4/23/09 “'tis the law of the sea, Matey. Hang 'em from the yardarm.” 8:32:26 AM 4/23/09 “Marko.. THAT belongs on the Out of Context Sarge Rules thread... What the heck did you smoke today? '32oz” 9:14:57 AM 4/23/09 “32oz, that was merely my interpretation of HyWay's interpretation of what I posted. Of course I used some of his actual words, though they were re-arranged to have the maximum nonsensical value and to convey homosexual in-you-end-OH!! about two of my dearest friends and tormentors with whom I enjoy so much delightful banter and abuse. According to HyWay Rules none of it has to bear any resemblance to anything posted either here or on a schithouse wall or anywhere by anyone living or dead.” 9:25:38 AM 4/23/09 “marko, could we have had the Nuremburg trials before we invaded Germany? I am just trying to compare apples to apples. While you compare an 18 yo somali pirate to an entire State Government.” 9:32:37 AM 4/23/09 “Show me where MarkO compared a pirate to Idaho!” 9:42:10 AM 4/23/09 “"marko, could we have had the Nuremburg trials before we invaded Germany?" "We"?? Neither you nor I were there. "While you compare an 18 yo somali pirate to an entire State Government." I did no such thing, you smelly guy. "Sure Chili....um but our justice system does not reach outside the borders of the Nation...." XLax To which I responded..... “Um...............U.S. justice reached to Nuremburg, did it not? There was some of that going on in Tokyo or there abouts, too.” MarkO 6:37:00 AM 4/23/09 Nowhere in those posts did I suggest what you suggest I suggested, HyWay.” 9:46:08 AM 4/23/09 “I would never suggest Hyway for anything.” 9:51:37 AM 4/23/09
