Pirates attack another U.S.-flagged ship, but fail to get aboard

The Liberty Sun, a U.S.-flagged cargo ship bound for Mombasa, Kenya, was attacked Tuesday by Somali pirates, according to a NATO source. The good thing was nothing happened besides the attack, they failed to get aboard and the ship was able to escape.

The pirates will not quit. After all, this is the Somalia economy. I just hope the U.S. doesn't have to get caught in another hostage crisis because of this. Every day is something new with these pirates.

Pirating is economy of Somalia

Associated Press: Pirates recapture US hostage...

Reuters: Pirates pose annoying distraction for Obama

Oh yeah, these pirates, or "marine-merchant organizers with guns" are just so hilarious. Our Secretary of State Hillary Clinton knows all about pirates.


And then there is President Barack Obama who says he has "no comment" on the pirates seizing an American ship off of the coast of Somalia. The captain may have been kidnapped and taken for ransom for now for a whopping $2 million.

Sadly, if the sea captain was black I think things may be different. This instance is this captain is a white man. Obama can care less about white people (he's the opposite of George W. Bush according to Kanye West). Remember the flooding in the Dakotas? Where was Obama?



Meanwhile, it is playtime for Obama and Hillary Clinton.


As Obama cares about the rest of the world and how they feel about us, he can care less about America.
