#3 AA5839: I'm pretty sure the UN Special Envoy means that the PIRATE attacks threaten the peace, not the attacks on the pirates. He even says that those bankrolling the pirates should be held accountable. Almost adult of him. LINK.

#5 There those ignorant French go again. Creating more pirates in the name of fighting.

No. I will not act like an adult. At least for a while. After all those years of taking their childish Eutopian shit, I'm giving it back.

#6 The French have been doing some really good work. It's a shame that more pirates don't "resist" arrest. It would simplify things.

#9 Well, geee...talk about missed opportunities.

If only the French had declared a 'war on piracy', they could have declared this a 'victory' and added it to their short list...

#10 If I understand correctly, you have to have a 3-D body to create a holographic image, so it won't do justice for most of our lovely cover ladies.
