It really is time all of these merchant ships were armed, trained and permitted to take out these pirate scum.

Good vids Graham & Fred. Here's one I found the other day - they give the Taliban a hosing with the Apaches chain gun just in case they survived the Hellfire missile

It's only the restrictions we place upon our armed forces that prevent them from totally annihilating each and every one of these cowardly terrorist scum...and pirates.

Now we're being sued for millions by a bunch of Iraqis who ALLEGEDLY got slapped around a bit.

Should have just reduced the whole place back to desert and rubble and let them sort their own damned mess out. None to be let in here either.
