I thought the policy on dealing with pirates was "grab your ankles."
If Somalia was more sophisticated they would merely just make a floating toll booth. Sort of like what our govt. does with us. |

The waters are not safe. Biden says stay off of subways and airplanes.
This is a secret plot by the environmentalist wackos to make everyone walk.

Biden is America's crazy uncle, who has against all odds, found himself one heartbeat away from the presidency.

1. Insurance companies won't insure vessels (or only will for exorbitant amounts) if they have weapons on board in that area of the world, because the insurance company doesn't want to see an escalation of violence that leads to destruction of the ship and/or cargo (which they are insuring). If the vessel is hijacked for ransom, and later released, the insurance company doesn't have to pay to cover the ransom or the cost of the goods or the vessel. 2. The company that owns the vessel and/or the company contracting for the shipment of goods doesn't want an escalation of violence that could result in destruction of the vessel and/or cargo. |

I think the entire mission to save that captain should be paid for the company contracting that vessel. |
