Exult O shores, and ring O bells!

Looks like we will get to see the Obama administration leadership in action on this issue afterall:

Reporting from Washington and Nairobi, Kenya - The first pirate attack in more than 200 years against a U.S.-flagged vessel off Africa led to a tense standoff today after a crew of Americans retook control of the ship and the hijackers fled into a lifeboat - taking the American captain as a hostage.

I just hope we don't get a repeat of hollow threats, with no big stick for backup, like we've been hearing toward from President Obama, VP Biden, and Treasury Secretary Geithner to economic power-players. Damages credibility.
