"The Red Cross tended to the injured and supplied the starving men with fruit. Northern Alliance soldiers were bewildered and angry. "They will eat your apples and bananas and then blow us all up," said one."

At least 84 men emerged, some severely wounded, others apparently unscathed. Most either ignored questions or were too shell-shocked to notice them. But the 44th man stopped and claimed that he had been born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

BRITAIN'S SAS is poised to lead an attack on the underground fortress in the White Mountains of eastern Afghanistan where Osama Bin Laden is thought to be preparing for a last stand.

Boy I love them Brits, I do not give a hoot what others are saying about them, but truth be told when you need them, they are there; we may have some axes to grind with them in peace time but when shit hits the fan, they are right there lending a helping hand.
To all British FRepers(you included Mad Ivan), I tilt my hat to you guys, thank you for sticking with us all the way.

Excuse me for sounding extremely niave here, but here goes... What is Britains stake in all this? This is not the first time they stuck there neck out...in news reports anyway.

I mean we got bombed(WTC). Is it an ego thing over there?

This question is one I ask myself when the talk arises about what it going on behind the scenes...
