1. Because people think of "Pirates of the Caribbean" - something WAY in the past. |

4. Charitable interpretation: She's laughing at the anachronism of it all. |

22. (shrug) I still think she was laughing at the anachronism of it.... |
|
But I certainly can't read her mind.

6. It certainly makes her look stupid. I don't believe we ended piracy back then, we just made |
|
them move a country or two.
I don't see anything deep in her laugh. I think she is as clueless to the problem as most of us are. I mean piracy, come on. That does sounds retro. And if you're not familiar with Somalian history this whole thing must be totally bizarre.

7. The RW haters are running this. |
|
The guy she was with was laughing, too. It does look like something off camera, but the person who put that up at Youtube did it as a slam on the Obama Administration.

12. The Foreign Minister of Morocco also started laughing at the same time |
|
which supports a theory that something may have happened off-camera.

14. It is a SPECIFIC REFERENCE to a line (oft repeated) in the |
|
movie "Pirates of the Carribean"
The Pirate does something really really bad (you know, "pirate-like"). .and when he's called on it he says..pointing to himself and says..."Pirate"
It's the "Duh" factor that makes the line funny
Get a grip people. .

24. Truthfully, she probably broke character for a moment, thinking ... |
|
"I can't believe we're dealing with PIRATES!"
It does conjure up images of Captain what's his face and his rum, or Johnny Depp channeling Keith Richards.

34. No, it's doesn't seem "kind of odd." |
|
But, then again, you guys take a tall president bending down to shake a short head of state's hand, as a bow, too. Doesn't it get boring, looking at things with a microscope to find fault?
