It certainly is a great story for our boys. What shots! Glad that boat captain is going to make it home safely to his family. What an Easter gift for them right?

The pirates seem sort of suprised that some of their own got shot. Someone please tell them that pirating can be a dangerous job.

Intimidation will only get you so far. Sometimes you just pick on the wrong person.

US congressman Donald Payne barely escapes mortar blast at airport in Somalian capitol. Update: Unknown whether Americans were the targets. -CNN

Apparently mortars go off there very frequently.

Weird tangent, but I wonder what the SEALS used to hit those guys?

I would imagine it was the Barrett M107, .50 BMG.

First thing I thought of.

I have heard two different distances reported 20-30 meters and 100 meters. A.308 would would just fine at those ranges. I read they took head and shoulders shots.

At those ranges I think I could make the shots with an M16A2, however with the boat rocking it might be a little trickier, but an M4 with a scope would probably fix that problem too. Don't know if they necessarily used a sniper rifle for this, and if they did, I'm fairly sure it wasn't a .50 cal, as those rip people apart at distances over half a mile, can't imagine what they'd do at 100m.

Glad we finally took some action here. I was on the phone talking to my grandma and she was wondering why we haven't sent in a SEAL team to take care of the problem. I thought to myself that we probably had, but we just weren't allowed to know about it yet... Anyway I talked to her for about 30 minutes and checked the news, and I let her know what happened. I felt good about it.

As far as the military getting involved with the situation, I support it, we shouldn't have to deal with problems like this, nor should any other country. I say we take out the problem. Hell, if we're going someone put me on a plane (I'll set up communication...) and if need be I'll use a weapon.

I'm assuming some type of bullet

About time they smoked those pirates. They should have done that to Bin Laden a long time ago. Why wait?
