Subject: RE: BS: Pirates capture Saudi oil tanker
Of course, there isn't much piracy in Israeli waters,but then the Israelis have the hardware,and the balls,to deal with that sort of thing swiftly,decisively,and fatally----sadly,the dithering,hand-wringing ,bleeding-heart apologists who infest the corridors of power of our once great Western nations just aren't up to dealing with piracy on the High Seas,or the River Thames, for that matter.I saw the recent reports about the British Royal Navy engaging with, and killing,some pirates in one of the "hot spots", and the way the newspapers and TV in Britain reported it, you would think that the Navy had committed some terrible crime !! O Tempora! O Mores !
