Somali Pirates – Dopes In Boats
I heard a report today about a group of dumb-ass Somali pirates who fired on a French military vessel. Apparently the bone-heads had initially thought that the ship was a commercial vessel. Oops. You gotta’ wonder what’s the combined IQ of these morons?
I can only imagine the fervent Somali dialogue in that pirate “ship”. I wish I could have seen the “oh-shit” look on their faces when they realized what they had done. Probably looked something like this guy:
Somali Pirates - Oh Shit!
Freakin’ amatures. You watch a (pirated) copy of Pirates of the Caribbean once and think you can take on the high-seas.
It was kind of surprising to hear that the French vessel actually took chase. I would have thought that they would have raised the white flag or at least full-throttled it out of there. It would have been far more impressive if they had torpedoed those Somali scum right out of the water. Next time…
Maybe I’m niave or ignorant to the technology available to the military these days, but don’t we have a more efficient way of taking care of these water-bandits? It’s seems crazy that we have these huge, expensive ships patrolling a vast amount of ocean looking for these bums. How ’bout a satalite or something?
Geez, I don’t know… Well, at least it’s five less dopes in a boat. Something tells me there’s only a few more million to go.
