Angry pirates vowed retaliation for the deaths, raising fears for the safety of some 230 foreign sailors still held hostage in more than a dozen ships anchored off the coast of lawless Somalia.

"From now on, if we capture foreign ships and their respective countries try to attack us, we will kill them (the hostages)," Jamac Habeb, a 30-year-old pirate, told the Associated Press from one of Somalia's piracy hubs, Eyl. "(U.S. forces have) become our No. 1 enemy."

Nuke 'em.

Or the French, who did a succesful rescue mission too.

the UN should send a full army on Sudan, the pirates are protected by the murdering warlords that run the country by killing all non muslims and my surpressing the locals. Time to stop the murdering son's of *****es.

My friend and I were up until 4 AM Saturday night just talking about the hopstage situation and how the Navy should simultaneously snipe the pirates holding the captain.
This just shows off the talent and skill of our servicemen.
I got to announce to our Easter table that they got the pirates. Times like these your proud to be an American.

And if they think they want to avenge and escalate the situation, then they should be careful what they wish for.

Those Navy snipers were unreal.
Two separate boats rocking. Critical shots only to be taken once.
Nailed them!!!

Oh what joy!!!

MILITARY CONSIDERS ATTACK ON PIRATE LAND BASES

They asked for it! Most Somali pirates live in small coastal villages, so we're not talking about Mogadishu here. What do you guys think?

Lets do it. They said they would kill us, so it would be justified.

This sounds like a worthy cause to me. I support it!

Snipers where Seals ,well done guys!

My son and I had been sitting around wondering why the Navy just didn't send the Seals in under cover of darkness to play "pop the pirate". All I can say is IT WAS ABOUT TIME!

Now we can all sit back and listen to all the wussy hand wringers talking about how the evil U.S. has just made the situation worse by murdering those three law abiding Somailian patriots. I can't wait for some pillar of human rights to stand up and call for a UN trial in international court charging the Seals with murder.

Do these people not watch the news.

You are a "PIRATE" and you wanna pick a fight with the greatest military ever assembled.

You throw as much as a rock at one of our ships and we will crush your entire organization like a bug.
