"It was an intervention not a pulverization," General Jean-Louis Georgelin, head of the armed forces general staff told a news conference in Paris."

Pity, I prefer pulverizations.

Cheers.

"French commandos seized six pirates in Somalia on Friday during a daring helicopter raid..."

Only if REUTERS could write so gloriously about our brave US troops in Iraq who are doing just a tad more than saving rich people on a yacht from "hooligans."

Will be interested in seeing photos of how badly these pirates damaged this fine ship.

“A district commissioner in Somalia told Reuters that five local people had died in the attack”

So what? Too bad they didn’t nail all the pirates.

The “pirates” should all be shot.

I'd would have preferred that the yacht came in to harbor with the pirates swinging from the yardarms. GREAT photo op!
