Hillwilliam -> Somali Pirates arent too bright (10/8/2009 1:47:31 PM)
Im surprised noone has latched onto this one yet with the inherent comedy. it appears that yesterday, A group of Somali pirates attacked what they thought was a cargo ship. It turned out that it was the flagship for the French naval presence in the area. One group of pirates got away, the other was captured. The only real surprise is that the French didnt immediately surrender. ;-)

Well, they weren't in town.

~fr~ I would have given anything to see their faces....either the French or the Pirates. Life is funny.

Why didn't they kill them? They're not there to be social workers.

Maybe the French should have a couple of Navy Seals on board their ships.

They'll send them to Guantanamo, or maybe the closest of the CIA 'enhanced interrogation' camps that we have around the world. After all, Rumsfeld himself personally approved those 'enhanced' techniques, and who would Obama be to rescind that policy?

Y'know, a bit of interrogation to figure out where the guys who send these idiots out live might not be a bad idea. Hellfire missiles make a wonderful statement when they hit the right things. Leave it to the French to let the other boat get away, though. Hint: Blow one boat the fuck out of the water, THEN chase the other one...

Maybe if promised enough marshmallow on top of their hot cocoa the terrorists would have caved, too.

With the country not really having a government it is not likely they will be send back, this is their way to get asylum.

Hint: Blow one boat the fuck out of the water, THEN chase the other one... To be fair to the French fleet, they would have been on their way somewhere, and presumably didn't have the time to pursue fleeing Somalians. As for the other, aren't any docks these wankers are based around going to be hosting a few (or a lot of) hostages? Blowing them up might not be a good idea, given that.

But, but, but... isn't France saving enough money through their "free" health care program (and all their other "free" programs) to fully fund everything they need? quote: ORIGINAL: SL4V3M4YB3 I think the confusion here was caused by France's cash strapped Navy using a cargo ship as their flagship vassal.[8\|]

Times are tight even we are ditching one of those costly Trident thingys, we are hoping to sell the other three to Iran. They say free at the point of use i.e. free when you use it not free. e.g. I break my leg and nobody charges me for this unfortunate accident repair at the time. I have already paid when times were better and the leg was in the unbroken state. i.e. when I was earning with the unbroken leg so able to pay tax unlike those sick and unable to pay hospital bills. This is what is known as catch 22 or a vicious circle.[8\|]

Is it worth mentioning that France's economy seems to be in better shape than America's at the moment? The healthcare programme obviously isn't as ruinous a drain on the tax revenues as it's made out to be.

With the country not really having a government it is not likely they will be send back, this is their way to get asylum. That's why The West needs to end all those "asylum" and "refugee" programs, they're all scams. If they want to continue them then let non-Western countries accept them if they want and see how willing the "asylees" and "refugees" are then. "Otay! One bus going to Iran, 50 seats available, step forward please 50 people!"
