Have you seen this? These fuckers took down a Saudi-owned ship loaded with crude and its 25-member crew, the U.S. Navy said Monday. That is totally fucked up. I have written before about these fuckers, driving around in their speed boats, picking off cargo and ships alike for the past several years....but this is BIG.
Saturday's hijacking of the MV Sirius Star tanker occurred in the Indian Ocean far south of the zone patrolled by international warships in the busy Gulf of Aden shipping channel, which leads to and from the Suez Canal. A U.S. Navy spokesman said the bandits were taking it to a Somali port.
Fully loaded, the ship's cargo could be worth about $100 million. But the pirates would have to way of selling crude and no way to refine it in Somalia.t that has become a haven for seized ships and bandits trying to force ransoms for them.
I have said repeatedly that I would much rather be a Somali Pirate than work on Wall Street these days. Think about it--sailing the high seas, no oversight, no governmental control, drinking rum, shooting guns, and an occasional stop at a pirate port (or otherwise) for some good ol' fashion screwing, stealing and an occasional gang bang. It is...a no brainer.
