We need to subcontract our pirate pursuit to the Russians. Maybe even hire them to secure our southern border.

Yeah, to hell with dragging Aligators from Florida, Just use these Russian Troops, calderron would have a fit.

Devious, I like that. Winning side makes up the ROE's.

Russia is preserving freedom of the seas. Obama is trying to socialize freedom of the seas. Then Obama also goes against Israel for trying to protect itself.

I just did a post on why the blood of the 9 deaths in the "flotilla of aid" humanitarian farce is on Obama's hands.

Blood of the Israeli boarding of Mavi Marmara is on Obama’s hands.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama stopped Israel from using anti-riot gear to prevent a Turkish-sponsored flotilla from breaking the siege on the Gaza Strip.

Diplomatic sources said the White House rejected Israeli intelligence assessments that the six-ship flotilla contained weapons and Islamist fighters trained to resist any boarding operation. The sources, privy to Israeli-U.S. government communications, said Obama and his leading aides pressed Israel against any act that would be deemed excessive force.

“The White House demanded that Israel exercise extreme caution and restraint in any scenario,” a diplomatic source said.

The Obama administration demands were relayed through Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Intelligence Minister Dan Meridor, the sources said. They said Barak, who has sought advanced weapons from Washington, persuaded Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to agree that the Israel Navy would not use anti-riot equipment, including tear gas, to stop the flotilla.

The sources said the Israeli intelligence community had informed the White House that the flotilla contained scores of Turks trained in weapons and hand-to-hand combat. They said the Turkish-flagged ship Mavi Marmara was believed to have contained weapons and components ordered by the Hamas regime in the Gaza Strip.

In the end, Netanyahu approved a plan for the Israel Navy to board Mavi Marmara with commandos armed with paintball guns. The commandos were quickly overpowered by Turkish fighters until the Israeli commander ordered live fire, which killed nine passengers, eight of them Turks.

The academic A$$HOLE occupying the White House is responsible for the 9 deaths that occurred on the Mavi Marmara. Had the Israeli commandos been allowed to board with non-lethal riot gear there most probably would not have been any deaths. He is similarly tying the hands of our troops engaged in Iraq and Afghanistan and subjecting them to greater danger than necessary. Obumble shows his incompetence in every decision he and his tribe of cronies make. Obumble is an idiot. Any country that listens to him is committing national suicide.

The below insight from Israel Today.

Had the Israelis boarded the Mavi Marmara with tear gas and rubber bullets, it is very likely there would have been no fatalities in the confrontation.

Instead, the Israeli commandos carried only paintball guns and pistols. They were quickly overwhelmed by dozens of “peace” activists wielding knives and clubs, and several of the Israelis were taken hostage. The second wave of commandos, understandably fearful that their captured comrades were being lynched or may end up like other abducted Israeli soldiers, quickly requested and received permission to use their sidearms.

In a misguided effort to prevent a violent clash by putting the Israeli commandos and the activists on equal footing, the White House actually set the stage for a far more deadly situation.

Tom, oh wow that would be something. It would really put the fear of God in the illegals. They know how PC America has become. But Russia....haha no way do they incorporate PC in their system. Good one Tom.

Mark, heh heh, I can just see the lefties getting in an uproar at not playing nice with the illegals. tra la la la

BobF., wow thank you so much for posting that.

This videotape shows Russian Navy commandos on a Somalian pirate ship shortly after the pirates had captured a Russian oil tanker..
