#2 they used good tactics and we were not able to board

Amazing how effective good tactics involving pieces of high velocity, guided metal can be.

#3 Not guided, I think, Glenmore. But aimed, certainly.

#4 The cruise liner Melody, carrying more than 1 500 people, was attacked on Saturday but Israeli security guards on board the ship responded to the pirates' gunfire and were able to repel them.

Not mentioned are the passengers who heaved deck chairs at the pirates as well.

#5 Hmmmm... Small passenger liner with 200-300 SF/SEALs aboard, cruising from Port Said to Mombassa. Should be attractive enough to get the pirates to "attack". Pirate launches found floating on the sea, no pirates, no weapons, no bullet holes. Should be able to get three groups before the pirates get wise.

#6 "Israeli security guards... "

We may be seeing the beginning of a growth industry here....

#7 "Unfortunately, for technical reasons, we could not seize the ship"

Technically, it's because their worthless asses WERE BEING SHOT AT.

Pussies.
