I agree with you Lyle that it needs to hanled very carefully, cause we dont want it to end up like the French rescue effort. Your right about that. But, like I said, I really believe we had our chance and completely blew it. Now, the longer this goes on the worse it gets. Not only is the US up against the lifeboat, but were trying to keep other pirate ships from coming to its aid. Not to mention, the other hundreds of hostages from other countries that their fellow pirates can used as collateral. It would not have come to this if it was handled differently.
