I have two questions for you based on this little gem of yours: 1. Since when is the western Indian Ocean and the location of these particular pirate attacks even close to our coastal waters? 2. For one to conclude that the US Navy has demonstrated an "inability to stop pirates off Somalia" one would have to have seen some attempt, and a failed attempt at that, by the US Navy to do so. When did this happen in recent history?
