Somalia pirates: EU approves attacks on land bases

That is a fake advert that was going around 3 or so years ago.

I don’t know if someone has revived it, but it is still as fake as the day some idiot created it and posted it on the internet.

I’m sure he is still laughing at all the gullible XXXXX that actually believed it was real.

I saw a new interesting approach that also generate jobs

Want a different holiday? Go on a Somali pirate cruise

For the gun nut who has done everything, join a cruise to sunny Somalia and see how many pirates you can take out.

The Somali cruise package that departs from Sawakin (in the Sudan) and docks at Bagamoya (in Tanzania).

The trip includes a master gunsmith and will have reloading parties every afternoon as well as optional marksmanship training.

The cruise lasts from 4-8 days and nights and costs a maximum of $3200 per person double occupancy (4 days). If you don’t have your own high powered weapons you can hire them on the boat.

The cruise boat sails along the coast of Somalia waiting to get hijacked by pirates. Here are some of the costs and claims associated with the package.

*$800.00 US/per day double occupancy (4 day max billing)

*M-16 full auto rental $ 25.00/day ammo at 100 rounds of 5.56 armor piercing ammo at 15.95

*Ak-47 riffle @ No charge. ammo at 100 rounds of 7.62 com block ball ammo at 14.95

*Barrett M-107 .50 cal sniper riffle rental 55.00/day ammo at 25 rounds 50 cal armor piercing at 9.95

*Crew members can double as spotters for 30.00 per hour (spotting scope included).

*RPG’s at 75 bucks and 200 dollars for 3 standard loads

*“Everyone gets use of free complimentary night vision equipment and coffee and snacks on the top deck from 7pm-6am.”

*Most cruises offer a mini-bar and this cruise offers a MOUNTED MINIGUN AVAILABLE @ 450.00 per 30 seconds of sustained fire”

“We guarantee that you will experience at least two hijacking attempts by pirates or we will refund half your money back including gun rental charges and any unused ammo (mini-gun charges not included).

How can we guarantee you will experience a hijacking? We operate at 5 knots within 12 miles of the coast of Somalia. If an attempted Hijacking does not occur we will turn the boat around and cruise by at 4 knots. We will repeat this for up to 8 days making three passes a day along the entire length of Somalia.

At night the boat is fully lit and bottle rockets are shot off at intervals and loud disco music beamed shore side to attract attention. Cabin space is limited so respond quickly. Reserve your package before the end of May and get 100 rounds of free tracer ammo in the caliber of your choice.”

As if all that isn’t enough to whet your appetite, there were a few testimonials

*“I got three confirmed kills on my last trip. I’ll never hunt big game in Africa again. I felt like the Komandant in Schindlers list!”—- Lars, Hamburg, Germany

*“Six attacks in 4 days were more than I expected. I bagged three pirates and my 12yr old son sank two rowboats with the mini-gun. PIRATES 0 – PASSENGERS-32! Well worth the trip. Just make sure your spotter speaks English” – Ned, Salt Lake city, Utah USA

*“I haven’t had this much fun since flying choppers in NAM. Don’t worry about getting shot by pirates as they never even got close to the ship with those weapons they use and their squirrelly aim—reminds me of a drunken ‘juicer’ door gunner we picked up from the motor pool back in Nam”—“chopper’ Dan —-Toledo USA.

*“Like ducks in a barrel. This is must do! – Zeke, Minnahaw Springs, Kentucky, USA

Prevent them from breeding altogether

This should breed the next batch of terrorists we have to guard ourselves against. 🙁

At long last, now put the french foreign legion to good use

EU naval forces have conducted their first raid on pirate bases on the Somali mainland, saying they have destroyed several boats.

I have a Cunning plan !! It involves Su 25’s , & friendly user of such planes & A suitable method of getting ” Frogfoots” ,nearer to their particular targets .

This plan omits the need for a ” Turnip “

I wish India will come up with a similar measure too. Will be a good place for weapon testing.

French foreign legion soldiers want nothing more than be deployed abroad to make extra cash, they would be the ideal tool

Striking land bases might involve lots of collateral damage as these pirates are not exactly Al Qaeda. The remedy lies in overhauling their economy but it is an ugly job and no one wants to get involved. 🙁 . But when they cross the line someone has to act. It is ugly in any case.

Exacty what it says in the title. Is this too little too late or should this eradicate the pirate operations in the area. Will it have consequences on the current African union ops in the country as some of the ransom monies is apparently funding al shabab operations….. I’ll hand it over to you guys….Discuss 😀

Futile:Unless there is some development and economic prospects (to earn $$ honestly), there will remain every incentive to go pirate. Same as with war on drugs.
