Battle Lines

 

About a year and half ago, Roo and myself thought about how dope it would be to do a project (movie?) on modern day pirates. I mean, c’mon, just because this doesn’t run on the local news here in Utah it doesn’t mean that they don’t exist. Well, it just so happens that this week there have been EXPLOSIVE reports about the pirate menace. And it seems that India has taken the “Ready, Aim, Fire” approach…

Indian navy destroys 'pirate ship'

An Indian warship in the Gulf of Aden has fought a battle with Somali pirates just hours after three vessels were hijacked off the coast of Somalia.

The Indian navy said the pirates' "mother ship" was blown up and the pirates fled in two speedboats in the exchange on Tuesday.

The navy said on Wednesday that the INS Tabar approached the pirate ship and asked to search it.

The ship had food, diesel and water on board and had two speedboats in tow.

The navy statement said that they had seen the men on the ship's deck with rocket-propelled grenade launchers and guns. The pirates threatened to blow up the warship, and then opened fire.

The naval statement said: "On repeated calls, the vessel's threatening response was that she would blow up the naval warship. The INS Tabar retaliated in self defense and opened fire on the mother vessel.

"As a result of the firing by INS Tabar, fire broke out on the [Somali] vessel and explosions were heard, possibly due to exploding ammunition that was stored on the vessel."

The blew up the mother effin mother ship?!? It looks like the battle lines have been drawn. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

I am going to rock “Quantum Of Solace” tonight with K…DOPE!!!

Peace, DAG!

PS. I want Jason Statham to play me in a Mark Dago bio-pic. This guy is EPIC!
