The Pirates Movie

The developments in the Gulf of Eden and the Indian Ocean at large is a sign of more trouble not only for the good neighbour Kenya and other countries in the region, but to a large extend an acid test to president Obama and the new administration. perhaps it is one of the first exercises for Obama to exhibit his military might and prove wrong those who see him as a weak president. And for sure Obama's victory was first recorded yesyterday when the US Navy managed to resue the Maersk Captain Philip Richard. But what is disturbing to say the least is the level of sophistication employed by these pirates. Perhaps a new strategy ought to be employed. 24 hour surveillance may not be the real panacea.
