1 - Steve Fosset's belongings found. Might rest some of the rumors that he is still alive.

2 - Pirates in the Indian Ocean. Do you think they sh!t their pants when the cargo ship had 30+ tanks, RPG, ammo, etc.? Now they are screwed with the largest world navies surrounding them. They can't win this one.

Have people looked into any reason why Fosset might have wanted to fake a death? (if'n he did)
And why are american ships fooling around with this? Oh never mind the powers that be are gong to do what they want. But I say the Russians should handle this.
This isn't really political at least not seriously, it's just funny. It's "The Word"

The US is just blocking until Russians arrive. It does have political implications for the region though if the US did nothing, and the arms were sold black market. I just think it is amusing that pirates were able to hijack an arms shipment of all things, and then get this much international attention.

If they were real pirates they'd figure out how to turn that ship into an A-team style battleship and start firing those tank guns. The Russian frigate should scare the hostages as much as it does the pirates.

we should just sink the ship, blame the pirates, insurance write off. [evil]
Yes I'm Russian, we all think this way.
THIS is news!

MoooooOOOOOOOoooo
Steve's plane was found just miles from where I live during the winter. It's kind of weird to think I was sitting at home when his plane went down not far from me.
