[QUOTE="Cochise, post: 517749, member: 22316"] Classic hostage strategy was used. Get the kidnappers tired, hungry, thirsty and sloppy. Wait for them to make a mistake, gather your own resources, and act swiftly when the time is right. If the Navy had acted on the first day, there is a good chance we we have a posthumous hero in Capt. Phillips. Credit is due here to all involved, the CIC, the Captain of the Naval vessel, and the SEAL sharpshooters. Thankgoodness our President is wise enough to follow the advice of experts, and people on the scene, rather than some knee-jerk reaction from an uniformed public. If this wasn't an A+, I don't know what could be. And for all you pirate experts, study maritime law and the history of how pirating has been successfully halted before you propose your poorly thought out schemes. I'll give you a hint. Pirating has NEVER been halted with a naval solution. You must fight it on land. Are you truly ready for a land war in Somalia? [/QUOTE]
