It may have been a "mistake"-but-they definitely do NOT get a "do over".....

I'm tempted, like many others I'm sure.. to start making jokes about the French military..

but, I'll just let it pass.. truthfully, the French have been as aggressive as anyone at dealing with this.. good for them..

Not sure how you "ooohh crap" in Somali.. but I'm pretty sure that's what the guy said once he realized he'd fired on a military vessel.

Aaargh...

They did let one of the skiffs get away...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....wh at a great story!

How crappy is it when even the French don't surrender to you?

Those guys on the warship must have gotten a hearty laugh when the pirates opened up.

I admire their restraint.

If I had been the captain I am afraid there would have been a burning oil slick marking the last know position of both of the pirate skiffs.
