I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
French students are burning down McDonalds in protest to the Iraq war.
ARRRRRRRRR
Foist
Avast! Shiver me timbers! Frist mateys!
Yo Ho Ho....
Seven other suspects were taken into custody after the early-morning shootout, said Lt. Cmdr. Charlie Brown, spokesman for the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet.
Oh dear. Lessez les bon temps rollez...
I thought these were the good A-rabs.
RRRRRRRRRRRFUCK
Swabbies!
damn!
Our military is falling apart. At some point our Israeli friends to whom we have been so good will see more to get out of China than us. Not even Canada will be our friend then.
Well, this seems a bit more mismatched than pirate actions in the past, no?
But I guess it is more fair a fight than pirates versus cruise ships or tramp steamers.
I dress in pirate's clothing,
and hang around in bars.
Made in into Atrios' hallowed halls once again! 
Let me get this straight: Lil Boots wants Dubai to guard American ports, but they can't keep pirates out of their waters. Unfuckingbelievable!
Ahoy mateys,go see V for Vendetta-you won't be sorry.
Were they wearing my puffy shirts?
I mean, "roller."
Lt Cmdr Charlie Brown is fighting pirates for the USA?
I hope he is wise enough not to fall into any traps involving pirate footballs.
"Lt. Cmdr. Charlie Brown, spokesman for the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet."
What a moniker to be stuck with!
The Navy will have fewer personnel to take on pirates with Chimpy assigning several thousand of them to ground duties in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Thers,
How is Little Monica doing?
Probably not to smart exchanging gunfire with a cruiser and destroyer.

I hope he's not bald.
Our problem is not that we were attacked by pirates -- piracy, yes, old-fashioned high seas burglary by raiding -- has actually existed continuously for millenia in certain regions, especially the South China Sea (origin of the word "Boogey Man" the best pirates were the orange-sail-using BuGi). Our problem is that our ass was kicked by fucking African pirates, which is something like a border patrol unit being totally Danjou'd by Haitians fresh off the Medusan raft. They must be laughing in Darfur...this is why the Americans rescued no Sudanese: they honestly couldn't.

How does that work out?
.
Bush should just hire pirates to guard our ports.
shiver me timbers!
So far, so good. My sword is often admired.

Hey sailor, whatcha hiding under that patch?
Charles Brown was a great old jazzy blues singer. saw him a couple of times; he was cool enough that, were Snoopy available, he'd let him sit in at bass...
hello sailor!
So far, so good. My sword is often admired.

Most overused line:
Hey sailor, you got a sword in that scabbard or are you just glad to see me?
I'm surprised no one has used the ol' "blow me down" line.
How is Little Monica doing?
Monicanín beg is fine, the color of a well-cooked corned beef. Gets upset but is willing to be calmed by a bit of cuddling and crooning. Very healthy and well put-together.
Where's my Parrot?

Today's nominee for this year's Darwin Award.
Thers,
Glad to hear it.
Al Swearengen,
Perhaps.
Where's my Parrot?
Pining for the fjords.
Beautiful plumage.
I thought the link will take me to the recent Jonah Lucianne Goldberg dropping wherein he claims that Republicans are successful pirates who have commandeered the ship of state. Or some such nonsense.
Al Swearengen,
Perhaps.

Maybe it's right for the remake of The Adventures of Miles Cowperthwaite

South of here on the 'feeder road', I45, there's a place with maybe 10 exotic birds sitting on perches outside.
A nice stop on the way to Houston.

Dead men tell no tales...
Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute!

Dead men don't wear plaid.
I saw this story this afternoon. One question: Why was the story filed from the UAE?
All of us Monica Whittingtons now.
Suck, get splattered, and apologize.
One question: Why was the story filed from the UAE?
Because they're in charge of our pirate security?
only in the land of up is down and black is white could "Charlie Brown ... said ... The battle started after ... George and ... Gonzalez ... returned fire with mounted machine guns"
I think this is just a promo stunt by Disney to promote Dead Man's Chest, coming to theaters in July...
Funnily enough, the piracy problem on Somalia's coast (Kei and Yuri are right, this has been going on continuously for a long time) was somewhat ameliorated back when Somalia actually had a functioning government, such as it was. *sigh*
I shouldn't be posting on a dead thread, but what the hell.
Can anyone say Tonkin Incident?
Pirate attacks are up! This is a good thing, people. It means global warming is on the wane!

You may be interested to know that global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters are a direct effect of the shrinking numbers of Pirates since the 1800s. For your interest, I have included a graph of the approximate number of pirates versus the average global temperature over the last 200 years. As you can see, there is a statistically significant inverse relationship between pirates and global temperature.
Pastafarians, unite!
so that's where steve the pirate ran off to
actually, modern-day pirates are no joke.
It figures Atrios would take a stronger stand against pirates than he would against Al Qaeda.
You have got to be fucking kidding me. When the hell did the US Navy become the East Africa Coast Guard?
Distraction. Thanks for noting it was UAE.
CNN changed it from "fired on suspected Pirates" to "were attacked and returned fire" in less than an hour on their five minute cycle for afternoon.
Guess they have to establish pirate fear and send more Navy funds to protect the UAE, since K&Y noted where the source was...
EXCHANGING FIRE? HOW AMNY SHIP TO SHIP MISSLE WOULD THEY HAVE TO "EXCHANGE" BEFORE THIS DINGY IS OBLITERATED?
"You have got to be fucking kidding me. When the hell did the US Navy become the East Africa Coast Guard"
Guess.
Pretty ballsy prirates, taking on a Navy Aegis Cruiser and Aegis Destroyer from a small boat.
