And then, of course, we have the international community, who have just discovered that it is enough to scream and applaud loudly for Obama while giving him nothing in the way of concerted military action, even against common enemies. "Liking" Obama got him exactly what "disliking" Bush got him - jack sh1t. In fact, Bush actually got more out of the UN than Obama did.
The problem has been shined on, first by the Clinton administration and also by Bush, so we're years behind the 8-ball in putting the necessary intel assets in place that would be the logical precursors to any effective action. We might be able to make these specific pirates pay a high price for this specific action, but that won't be the end of it. Not by a long shot.
