.....I really love it when your the first to fall a sleep in the car on the ride home!

 

I own that statement!

 

Unless of course shes in the car, .... then I'd be up....so to speak.

The navy can't escort each and every tanker unless they want to form convoys.

 

Surely waiting a few days to group into a convoy is cheaper than going all the way around Cape Horn?

 

Although really what needs to happen is the world's navies need to declare those waters as off limits to anyone but registered shippers (or other registered users), and anyone in those waters otherwise is presumed to be a pirate and subject to immediate attack.

i heard 16,000 vessels pass through those waters a day - seems a bit much to control, eh?

 

hey, trust our free-market brethern! they'll settle on a solution - convoy took 2 world wars to figure out, afterall! course, the natural capitalist solution to shit like this is to carpet-bomb the badguys into the stone age - regretably, the bad guys in question already appear to be living that way?

that number is crap, because they'd all be bottlenecked at the Suez Canal, in or out. 16000 ships/day is one every five seconds.

They will be hunted down at sea just like the ones today who were blown out of the water by India,the lucky ones will die,the unlucky ones will never be seen again,and will surly tell all they know and more! Then will come the pancake facter,house,hotels,their fucking hole village will be flatted by air to gound missiles that fall out of the sky like rain,the top guys will run for their lives,but with marked money won't get far,most when cought will wish they were dead,because you don't rob the Mob,(OIL COMPANIES)and nobody is going give a fucking shits, what the hell were they thinkin!

"slack!"

You young guns kill me,always trying to prove your faster,tougher,and better as if us old farts never were young and dumb! I really love it when your the frist to fall a sleep in the car on the ride home!

 

Whatever son. Be there in a month if you wanna go climb something and test out your theory.

i am deeply dsylexic - it might well have been 1600/day

 

i don't think all that traffic is necessarily going through the canal - the tanker that recently made the news was going around the cape and was way out at sea - it doesn't sound like the badguys are exactly flying the jolly roger either, but pose as fisherman and hell, probably are actually fishing, right up until the locate a juicy, unprotected target
