$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('smallpoxgirl', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('DarkDawg', 'N')ot sure why it's taking so long for the Russians to get to the scene.
It's hard to find updates but here is one from ABC. A previous story from Sept 29 said they would arrive in about a week and it has been 10 days now since that story.

[Dreamtwister]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('DarkDawg', 'I') guess the Russians would not want the technology to get into the wrong hands.

DarkDawg: No, the tanks were definitely Russian.

No, the tanks were definitely Ukrainian.

Supteranker Takeover by "Pirates" has Insider Fingerprints


$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')hat you are looking at is an INSIDE JOB by the world banking community who is trying to strike sufficient terror to keep us flat a war and fully mortgaged into that war rather than repairing our economic house. This is a terrorist attack by the financial elites and using the pawns they financed in the horn of Africa to take us to the belief that we must rush to war.

You know there might be something here. I don't buy into every conspiracy theory, but why all of a sudden, is the news filled with these pirate attacks?

I was thinking it is a good way to keep 2 million barrels off the market or a good way to hide production decline.... You know at some point they are going to have to find out a way to hide the fact that they can't pump what they say they are...and admitting decline would be worse then hiding it... just my .02 cents...

[TheAntiDoomer]

I don't think they are hiding any production decline, I just think its a cheap way for them to add a risk premium on their product and make more $$$$$.

[galacticsurfer]

I was thinking the idiots sell lots of hand weapons to these 3rd world countries to keep up prodcution and then look what happens. You get the same with gangs in LA and durg gangs in Mexico.

[Starvid]

This is totally retarded, almost as stupid as Armageddon with his lizard alien illuminati who look like humans and run the world.

So, you know more than you are letting on there?
You type from home too? LOL.

Pirates have always been the dark side of the intelligence agencies for hundreds of years. Look up JOLLY ROGER on wikipedia.

The rulers of the world use them to sow discord and fear and break up the run for world countries, that is why their group took in so many south american countries. Mexicans speak spanish for this reason... This was not their native toungue.

Unintelligence community again, must be tired of doing UFO fly bys

Notice they call themn "terrorists" this time.

gimme a break why dontcha.

They should go back to frisking white grannies at airports to get their jollies.

[Tyler_JC]

I don't agree that this is some conspiracy to hide production declines.

We would need one tanker taken each day in order to fake a 2 million barrel production decline.

After a year, Pirates would own a massive number of tanker ships.

What are they supposed to do, sink them?

This pirate stuff is big news because Americans love pirates. It sells a ton of newspapers.

My friends are actually turning on CNN when I mention that they are talking about pirates.

Piracy makes for great TV.

Truth is, there was nothing romantic about 18th century pirates, and even less so with the modern day version.

These are dangerous thugs.

Those pirates would surely have done better if they had hijacked tankers while the price of oil was at its zenith. Interesting that their activity has picked up as the value of their stolen cargo has dropped.

Maybe the pirates are really mercenaries paid by nervous non-commercial shorts who are having to come up with oil for delivery.

I'm joking, of course.

[Sixstrings]

Hm.. perhaps this unstoppable surge in piracy has something to do with the US wanting a 300 billion loan from Saudi, Kuwati, Qatar et al..

Come through with the money, US navy will take care of the pirates..
