What passes for a government in Mogadishu would probably welcome the destruction of a rival power base.

Back when 1st world powers had balls thats what would happen, now were afriad of ruffling some panties. If you start killing them some bleeding hearts will get all upset.

The Marines were created for this and on top of that the British are very familer with this problem, come on. Stop wussing out and paying, start shooting.

This is a navy problem, boots on the ground are the last thing you want. Steam into the harbor and lay waste to anything that moves or floats.

Or better yet safe passage back so we can ID the mother ship, than kill them all!

I like my plan better. Think of it as target practice for the navy.

I am with you!!! They could stop it fast, if they had the guts, just to get the message across they could string up some of the dead pirate bodies with signs around their necks "I tried to hijack an oil tanker" on lamp posts in Mogadishu for a week, as a message:

"DON'T DO IT NO MORE !!!" LOLZ

IT'S THE ONLY LANGUAGE THEY UNDERSTAND, know what I am saying?.

Probably stop it in about a month...
