If I may parse a bit, there is a big difference btw “Vows Of Revenge” as the media is pitching it (revenge is usually targeted to whom the aggressor feels responsible and worthy of the revenge), and this quotation from Jamac Habeb- “From now on, if we capture foreign ships and their respective countries try to attack us, we will kill them (the hostages),” Jamac Habeb, a 30-year-old pirate, told The Associated Press from one of Somalia’s piracy hubs, Eyl. “(U.S. forces have) become our No. 1 enemy.” …

(Let’s kill them all before they capture any ships or ‘hostages’)

Habeb thinks that slaughter and murder of all potential, waiting-list hostages, not to mention the fact that 300 million U.S. folks have now been bumped up from their (previous) status of double-secret-probation to being in violation, and are in his sights, so don’t be surprised when you turn up dead…

Shows the wounded pride and humiliation of a thug.

And that might be the end of that (Habeb’s bluster), but Ass Press doesn’t see it that way: they smell sensationalism by pitting both parties against each other, with bloody favouritism for poor, oppressed, and prideful Habeb in the media’s struggle to turn Habebs lucrative racket into Third World Class Warfare™.

0bama is such a fool: the media is a bigger whore for sensationalism than they are for his ego, and will escalate this (quite rightfully I believe) into something 0 will be forced to deal with as a first priority.

And when that happens, it will be those Navy professionals wretchard mentioned, who will get volunteered to get the job done, and off the priorities list.

I said 0bama is a fool: he is a pluperfect fool; the media now sets the agenda and now he has to buckle under it

I guess they volunteered him for it.
