#1 Time to start seizing ships. They'll think twice if it's a financial loser. Remember how all the suicide bombing dried up after Saddam wasn't around to give $50,000 to the family of any "Palestinian" suicide bomber?

#2 Don't get the IDF involved - issue letters of marque and pay out prize money when a ship is captured trying to run the blockade. Prisoners optional, but pay for them too.

Private enterprise will do a good job if properly incentevized.

#3 I like the letters of marque idea. However, the prisoners should be exchanged to the Somali pirates for ships they have captured. They can then hold the prisoners hostage.

I wonder who would pay to get George Galloway?

#6 Worked last time.

Funny. Turks didn't participate last year. Then Erdogan met with Ahmadinejad last October, and they made joint statements on "palestine." Then the IHH - who were often at odds with Turk security forces, all of a sudden are heros, whose Mavi Marmara flew the Turkish flag.

What do you smell?
