Wednesday off the coast of the coast of St. Pierre and Miquelon (A French territory in the Gulf of St. Lawrence near Newfoundland, Canada) a Danish ship carrying tanks and ammunition has been seized by pirates. A French naval ship Le Marsellaise has left Calais for the east coast of North America, according to a Reuters report, and may be heading to help crack down on the pirates. France also says it may send other combat ships to fight such piracy. But warned that French ships will not be involved in any international operation; a clear warning to the USA not to interfere in a situation which although the St. Pierre and Canadian waters are close, is an an area not under the the jurisdiction of the United States. Admiral Le Pompous said that as an ally of Denmark and a co-member of the European Economic Union, French ships will do the job on their own. Something about 'Sauce for the goose' ............... comes to mind? |
