Finally - the officials say ships should be armed

Back in December I said ships should be armed.

Despite all the objections, my guess is we will start seeing armed guards onboard ships.

Finally, Petraeus (the U.S. Military Commander) says the same thing.

Gen. David Petraeus told a congressional committee that ocean cargo carriers should consider putting armed guards on ships traveling through pirate-infested waters off the coast of Africa.

Too bad they didn't listen to me.
