"key role to be played by special forces in the overall plan to break the Taliban insurgency."
Haha, good luck, with another 2 million waiting in training in Pakistan...
What a bunch of idiots!

In September, Nato forces launched their biggest offensive to date in the area in an attempt to eject an estimated 1,500 insurgents. Don't eject them, KILL THEM!!! or they'll be back.
Political correctness is killing our troops! It's long past time to kill political correctness.

This is an excellent report. SAS, British and Australian, are among the finest of the elite soldiers in the world. Most of what they do and have done will never be in the newspapers.

I actually admire the ethic which drives the British on in afgahistan. We Americans don't understand that it is unquestionably a cesspool where westerners have have their ass handed to them repeatedly. But it is also without doubt imperitive that afganistan never be left to it's own anarchy, witness 9 11 2001.

Rescuers riding on the
wings of Apache helicopters?! (From the captioning on the graphic)
That's a new one on me. Probably a heckuva ride. Especially NOE at night! :-) Can't be any worse than getting dragged through the trees on a SPIE rig.

What's so secret about this war? Maybe the BBC just didn't notice.
To: Riley
Says "crew of 2." So who's flying the copter?
To: Brilliant
Pilot and gunner in the cockpit, and a couple of lunatics on the wings, for a total of four. LOL!
The guys on the wings aren't crew.

To: Riley
Yeah. You couldn't get a copter pilot to do that. Gotta get some of Kerry's and Rangel's "dumb" constituents to do that.
To: kiriath_jearim; All
Someone posted a website that had a running list of captured/dead taliban/terrorists, does anyone know of or have that link?
Thanks,

"...British commanders initially declined to confirm the name of the captured man, in the hope that usable intelligence might result from his interrogation..."Mohammad Nabi is in a world-of-hurt right now. The SAS is fairly adept at interrogation. ............ FRegards
