For shame to us, the cheese eating surrender monkeys are doing what we dare not do.
Second, this is one instance where Sarkozy's short man disease may actually benefit the people of France and the mariners in the Indian ocean.
It's a sad day when the French are more militarily forceful than the US.
“followed the two small pirate skiffs back to a 30-foot boat apparently being used as a base for the pirates”
at which point the helicopter used its twin set of miniguns to
strafe the pirate crafts and ‘mothership’ , shredding everything and everyone , leaving no survivors and only smoking wreckage dispersing with the currents .

Chapeau! to Jet Jaguar for the Post.
Felicitations to Sarko and the french military for this operation. His Barackness talks, and visits foreign lands; Sarko takes action!
Yes, the French have a Navy.
Yes, the French have Warships, they even have Air Craft Carriers
France is a Nuclear Power and has Mirage Jets armed with Nuclear weapons.
Nicolas Sarkozy is President of France. He hates Socialists, and always calls a Spade a Spade.
I never thought I would hear myself say it, but, “Hooray for the French!”
I would have preferred the title line to have replaced the word ‘seized’ with ‘sunk (with all aboard dying).’

I am liking the French more every day! They are taking up the slack from our losing a real President for this Imposter in Chief we have now who gave four pirates in a row boat the world stage to spew their propaganda from for four days.
I wonder if George Clinton was there.
My only problem with this action is that “detaining” the pirates doesn’t do much to deter them. I’m sure the average French prison is much more comfy than whatever sh1t-hole these people come from in Somalia. And then, after they serve their time, I’m sure they’ll have good immigration lawyers and end up living in France.
Join the Pirates! Move to France!
You have to give credit where it is due.
I have knocked France over and over and I feel the Pirates will not be adequately punished by them, but even so they are doing something. Obviously they also can recognise a phony, and that’s what we have as President.
Excellent. I’d rather the pirates be killed than arrested. If the arrest is a formality prior to their hanging, then so be it.
The Somali Pirates offered resistance, but the French taunted them a SECOND TIME! and they retreated from the withering cuts.
Chain the pirates to the anchor and toss it overboard. Sell the ship at auction and use the proceeds to combat more piracy.
The BS about them not hurting anyone is shown to be the lie it is by this sentence. When you fire RPGs and small arms at a ship you stand an excellent chance of hurting someone. The leftards are so full of it with there, "just let them have the ship and pay ransom" surrender mode it makes a person want to puke.
Good for the French. Sarkozy may be slightly to the left but he is further to the right than our Coward In Chief.
If we were doing the same and if the Canadians would give their military a decent ROE pirating would become an obsolete occupation in short order.
Go FRANCE!
“Officials are now debating responses to the problem, including possible land incursions into Somali ports from which the pirates operate.”
Force the pirates to listen to an Obama townhall.
It's hard to recall the last time that the French military did anything worthwhile, so this can be considered a "stop the presses" story - from that perspective.
BTW, Mombasa, Kenya is believed to be the town of Obama's birth. Mere concidence?
