Obama Administration Telegraphs its Punches
I have an idea: Rather than leak our intentions to the news media, why not just send the moogs a fucking itinerary on Naval Dept. stationery?
And the OPSEC tag is born.

The poor darlings
Choice selections from the comments over at Yglesias's second home at Think Progress:
Thank goodness he’s safe. Now, what is going on in Somalia to make people so desperate that they resort to piracy…?
Yea! One US citizen is alive! How many people died of starvation today? Do they merit as much attention?
The Bush gangster regime hired the Ethiopian government to invade Somalia and to try and destroy the Islamic Court Union back in 1996.
How sad this all is. If something good can come from this incident, perhaps it will be that the world will pay more attention to the plight of the Somali’s and do something to fix it.
what a pathetic display…..the great american military finally found an “army” they could defeat. and the KKKristians? well they were able to complete the trifecta for their death cult as well as show the world how they are the experts in Jebus’ love and tolerance.
Why is it such a big deal when big countries push over smaller, weaker countries?
Fun crew you got there, Matt.

Pirates vow revenge against France, U.S.
So says one of their own:
"The French and the Americans will regret starting this killing. We do not kill, but take only ransom. We shall do something to anyone we see as French or American from now," Hussein, a pirate, told Reuters by satellite phone.
Here's one of my takeaways from Machiavelli: Men avenge small offenses. But they cannot avenge large ones.

Administration Bringing Big Guns to Bear against Pirates
We're finally getting serious with these pirates: The FBI is now investigating some of these guys, raising the spectre of possibly filing federal charges against the Marsk hijackers if any of them are taken alive.
Indeed, speaking in the hypothetical, of course, the Attorney General is now saying that if an American were harmed I'm sure they're quaking in their sandals.
Meanwhile, the FBI is treating the ship as a 'crime scene.'
Good idea. Taka a multi-million dollar ship and its cargo out of circulation for weeks while we wait for federal bureaucrats to complete their investigation.
The Obama Administration: Tough. Strong. Bold.
