Okay, so Somalian pirates captured an oil tanker worth $100 million.
The question is, so what would they do with it? Take it to the local fence? Use it as stake in a poker game?
Despite this huge drawback, seems we’re way too close to the issue. State Department spokesman Sean McCormack says, “There are no easy answers”.
I’d propose that, yes, there *are* easy answers. As in, “Hey, pirates– want a job guarding our oil tankers?”
