I vote we send Congress on a cruise ship through that area and let it be known they're carrying lots of arms, $$, and yellowcake. Maybe we'll get lucky. 
If things get really sticky, we can send the DofF (attchd pic). 
Richard's $.02 
PS - IMO an interesting episode of The Unit last night.

Now that is funny!! Always thought it was funny when soldiers named their vehicles...we had a platoon of SEAL's next door to us and they had their's named after all the character's in Duke's of Hazzard....no orange paint though...

Sounds like it would be better for everyone if it went to the bottom with all on board, and quickly.

Use it as a "live-fire" training exercise.
Stay safe.

Perhaps we don't stop them. If that ship that made everyone sick turns out to contain some damning evidence against Iran...it could be useful. Maybe the Somalis were tasked with the piracy to try to catch Iran shipping contraband in or out. If not - maybe they should be.

Fox News claims we have the pirated ship 'surrounded' with a USN destroyer. I'm trying to envision what a ship capable of 'surrounding' another ship might look like.
