CNN News: Reports that the US Defence Department is looking at how to close down the the threat of modern pirates from Somalia, one option is go after them on land, in Somalia. This would be a very bad idea, the USA had a very bad time in Somalia during the Clinton Presidency, it fact it can be argued that the failed operation in Somalia constrained Clinton for years. If the USA has to hit on land it should use special forces, drones and other black ops. On the political side USA should try to get a Government for the Somalia, help the poor people of the country. As long as you have a failed country, poor people you will have modern pirates in the region, thus a twin track, covert and overt action.
