Maersk-Alabama Captain Tries to Escape

Captain Richard Phillips made an attempt to escape by diving into the water but the pirates recaptured him before the Navy could assist. A ballsy move considering the waters in that area are teeming with sharks.

General Petraeus has ordered more forces into the area and the pirates are supposedly calling in reinforcements as well. They've also demanded $2-million for his release, a price that we can't pay because we don't negotiate with terrorists or haven't until this point.

I say it's time to show them that we aren't the Saudi's or any of the other nations who paid ransoms. We are the US and we'll liquidate every man responsible while destroying every single point of operation they have. I'm guessing these guys are Muslim's so I say we send them to meet Allah as fast as possible.
