The rash of piracy incidents off the coast of Africa in recent years has spurred the Obama administration to reach out to the other G-20 nations to build consensus around a "gradual drawdown of cargo vessels in global sea lanes."
"We need to get rid of the old trans-oceanic M.A.D. doctrine of Mutual Assured Delivery," said [White House press secretary Robert] Gibbs, "and look toward a safer future, where piracy no longer looms over the world as an ever-present threat. As everyone knows, President Obama is a visionary, and he can see the day when we'll have a world without nukes, and a world without cargo ships."
Scott Ott only thinks he's joking.
