#4 'Somalia is no longer on the verge of a catastrophe, the disaster is happening now,'

Yeah, we got the same message when we went into Afghanistan and you and your fellow NGO travelers predicted mass starvation and a human catastrophe of biblical proportions. Didn't happen. I doubt you'll ever get a clue about cause and effect. Cause if you did, you'd champion the American military instead of vilifying them in bring a definitive end to crap like this than the slow motion death you and yours only seem to arrange with all your brains. A robust ROE to whack the miscreants and latitude to do their job without parasites like the usual suspects of the international and leftist communities [I know I'm being redundant] yields real results. The day you get the clue, give us a call, unless your brethren have completed their task in disassembling the one tool in the world that actually seems to work. Till then enjoy your moral superiority.

#6 Blackwater could probably come up with a fleet pretty quick.
Maybe get a letter of marque and reprisal while they're at it.

#7 UN seeks foreign navy to escort food to Somalia

When it packed full of its usual complement of Liars and Theives Shove that entire M'Fucking Evil Box into the East River.

Then have Sea Going Tugs Tow that bastion of Liars and Theives out into International Waters and Cast it Loose... letting all those M'Fucking Bastards we've been paying for float around Cape of Good Hope up to the indian Ocean!

let the pirates have all of them!

#8 Perhaps if they allowed the skipper of the boats have an open hand in how and when to use his weapons you might, just might get some takers. but there are undoubtedly a bucket ful of restrictions on that kind of thing.

#9 IIRC, the RUSSIANS had already oferfed to suppport such an international scheme, and in any case had also already stated they will be deploying RussNav ships to the area regardless.
