Pirates Continue To Kick Ass And They Ain't From Pittsburg

The wily buccaneers of Somalia's seas do not seem especially deterred - instead, they seem to be getting only wilier. More than a dozen warships, from Italy, Greece, Turkey, India, Denmark, Saudi Arabia, France, Russia, Britain, Malaysia and the United States, have joined the hunt.

And yet, in just the past two months, the pirates have attacked more than 30 vessels, eluding the naval patrols, going farther out to sea and seeking bigger, more lucrative game, including an American cruise ship and a 1,000-foot, or 305-meter, Saudi oil tanker.


I read this and the only thing that came to mind is what the fuck is going on here. Don't tell this can't be stopped.

  2. We've got more damn pirates in Wall Street, Washington, the banks, and Freddie and Fanny than any where else and nobody shoots at them either.
