If the Navy can't secure the area off Somalia, how is it going to secure the vast US coastline?

Especially if they blow off the threat like you do.
Here's the thing, Slappy: Our Navy has a much more solemn duty to guard our shores than it does to guard the Somali cost.

Also, "territorial waters" and "international waters" mean something. You should look them up, and then explain under what provision of international maritime law it's dictated that the US Navy should provide the security for the Somali coast...
