It did not take long for the Democrats to start their blame game on George Bush for the Somalian pirate problem. This is a terrible "joke." To think that the democrats would excuse the Clinton debacle in the "Blackhawk Down" crisis, and turn around and blame Bush for the Somalian pirates. A problem of major international proportions that has no simple solution. By the way, we used three naval ships to solve a "pin prick" problem. This problem needs to be solved by the merchant marines and the shipping companies who have avoided real security. This is not a President problem, it is a private sector failure.
Look now for the liberal left, to attack Obama for adding risk to the shipping lanes. They will say that this action will put the shipping into greater risk. The wimps of the world will never understand human behavior, all they really want to do is avoid conflict, not solve problems.
