Prince William is 2 for 2 against Colombian drug smugglers

I'm impressed with the snipers - shooting from 400 feet up in a moving helicopter at a moving speedboat. They pierced the engines (the objective) but didn't kill the smugglers. Sounds like a jolly good show.

exactly why is the British Navy patroling off of the coast of Colombia? Are they actually there to do drub interdiction or for photo ops for the royal fam?? If they are in this hemisphere as part of a strategy to slow the flow of coca. good for them.

That's pretty funny, he's getting publicity for being next to someone doing actual work.
