Balls of steel!

(CNN) -- The French Navy said they seized 11 pirates Sunday after they apparently mistook a French military vessel for a commercial ship and made a run at it.

Nice result!just goes to show what can be achieved[even by the French!]Pity they did'nt just 'blast em out of the water!'

[Hightower]

Yes it is a pitty the French couldn't have blasted them out the water. But a great result!

Top news, it was almost starting to look like this whole location was getting out of hand with no one able or willing to step up to the mark… so will Google now this class as a French military victory?

But it must raise the question, how good where they at being pirates if they mistook a navy ship as a commercial one? Do they do YTS in Pirate?

It must have been very inconvenient for the French - while they were all on deck enoying some brie, the bloody pirates snuck right up on them before anybody could get to the storage area below to retrieve the white flags.
