Pirates.

Somali pirates strike again - two skiffs fired on a French navy vessel after apparently mistaking it for a commercial boat.

One skiff fled, and the French ship pursued the second one in an hour-long chase.

Ok fine. So maybe the Somali pirates need some lessons in pirating, or like glasses.

But that's not the story. The story here is the appalling ineptitude of the French military.

Five pirates on a fucking skiff eluded the French navy vessel for an entire hour, while another skiff eluded them entirely.

In case you are wondering if a skiff isn't what you think it is, here is a picture:

The fucking thing barely looks like it can float, much less elude this:

Incredible.
