Final Score: SEALs-4 Pirates-0
A type of strange aquatic life which is not native to the coast of Somalia has helped Capt. Richard Phillips escape his pirate captives. He's now safe aboard the USS Bainbridge and reunited with the fellow crewmembers that he put his life on the line to save.
The pirates didn't do so well:The American captain of a cargo ship held hostage by pirates jumped overboard from the lifeboat where he was being held, and U.S. Navy SEALs shot and killed three of his four captors, according to a senior U.S. official with knowledge of the situation.
You knew it was coming - you just wondered when.
Remaining pirates should immediately go on a remedial flag identification course and learn the difference between the US flag and the flag of Panama.
Luckily someone typed a few phrases into B Hussein Obamas teleprompter (TOTUS) and so he was able to repeat some speechwriter's tribute to Phillips. But would our politicians have the spine to authorise the Royal Navy to conduct a similar action, or would they be too busy cooking up false stories about David Cameron having an STD or mythical photographs of George Osborne in female underwear?

Yarrrrrrrrr Jim lad. But couldn't really put it like that in my post.
Just the three ? Why did they let the fourth one off ?
Gone soft those Yanquis.
EBC, 4 was negotiating on board one of the US warships when his mates accidentally died of lead inhalation.
Would have looked politically tricky to have inhumed him too..and on camera as well doubtless.
