BLUNDERING PIRATES ATTACK NATO SHIP

The pirates apparently mistook the FGS Spessart for a commercial merchant ship when they targeted it in the Gulf of Aden, between Somalia and Yemen.

The German supply ship pursued the pirate boat, joined by two other ships, a frigate, a helicopter and a plane.

A Nato spokesman said: "Poor judgment by the pirates turned out to be a real opportunity for seven nations representing three task forces to work together and strike a momentous blow for maritime safety and security."

The response seems a waste of resources. They could have taken them out with less of a power show. But, a power show may be what is need to scare these pirates into thinking twice before attempting to board another ship.

Our inability to deal with these pirates is making the West look really pathetic.

We could do it ME style and invade Kenya to alleviate the Somalia pirate threat.
