NAIROBI, Kenya – These Somali pirates picked the wrong ship to hijack.

Troops aboard the Dutch warship HNLMS Tromp fired warning shots Wednesday off the coast of East Africa as suspected Somali pirates in two small skiffs raced toward their warship, the EU Naval Force said.

After the pirates realized they had made what spokesman Cmdr. John Harbour called a "rather silly mistake," they turned around and fled. EU Naval Force personnel tracked down the two skiffs and a third suspected mothership, finding ammunition and rocket-propelled grenades on board, said Harbour, a spokesman for the EU Naval Force.

The two skiffs were destroyed and the pirates were set free on the mothership after it had been cleared of weapons.

The pirates were morons.
Why were they not all killed or arrested?
Why were they let go?
Why were they let go to go get some more shit and terrorize tomorrow?
Who in the hell is running the Dutch navy, D1B?

Isn't TROMP something elephants do? They should have tried it this time - a couple of skiffs are nothing vs. a mothership (which is probably like a trawler in Somali terms, I'm guessing).

Maybe they were aliens and were given some sort of diplomatic immunity and were permitted to leave on their mothership and go back to their home planet. I don't know.

Kind of appropriate for a thread about pirates, don't you think?

Should have sunk the whole damn thing and left all but one pirate alive but bleeding in the ocean to be eaten by sharks.

Then transported the one to Somalia to tell the tale.

So if there was only ONE left and he was left to be eaten by sharks...where do you find another one? Do you kill the shark and cut it open to get the dead body out and THEN toss the lifeless body onto the beach?

Way to put that Weber degree to work.

Grizza...

He said should have left "all but one pirate" alive but bleeding in the ocean....take that ONE to Somalia. Despite his degree from BBQ U, his syntax is correct.
