EXCLUSIVE: SAS fighters volunteer to stay in Afghanistan to avenge deaths of 13 US troops
The Mirror ^ | 28 August 2021 | ByDan WarburtonReporter for the Sunday Mirror and People

A diehard team of SAS fighters have volunteered to stay behind in Afghanistan to avenge the deaths of 13 US troops ­murdered at Kabul airport.

Sources say up to 40 members of the Who Dares Wins regiment have asked to remain in the war-torn nation so they can take the fight to IS-K – the terrorist group behind Thursday’s suicide bombing and gun attack.

The dramatic move came as the last UK civilian evacuation flight left the airport on Saturday – with 150 British passport holders still stranded in the city....

The SAS party is likely to establish a base in the lawless Afghan-Pakistan border area to conduct ­undercover strikes against the ultra-violent Islamic State Khorasan Province jihadists based in eastern Afghanistan.

...Although the force will need the approval of the Taliban to operate in Afghanistan, defence sources say this is likely to be given.

The British and US special forces will be organised along the same lines as Task Force Black, which once operated in Iraq....

I understand the enthusiasm of these men, but for how long is this workable if half the taliban will protect isis?

Imagine actually believing the “ISIS-K” is not the Taliban.

They can start by destroying those 37 Super Toscanos.

And what’s with the “K” thing. ISIS IS ISIS.

Around 15 years ago iirc, Eric Prince said he could win the war in Afghanistan with 6,000 (?) SF troops, and the rest of the military could watch. I’m convinced he was right.

Yeah, too late, I know.

Prince has been one of the covert rescue guys. He’s got a team of ghosts that seem to be very good at what they do - no extractions lost yet, knock on wood

They probably aren’t. But Taliban allow them to operate.

I’m just grateful that some of our UK allies still want to help, after the feckless performance of our own administration. The former obviously still understand the meaning of Honor.

This particular groups is Islamic State Khorasan Province, since they are ISIS affiliates they call them ISIS-K instead of ISKP.
They are just a more militant bunch of jihadists.

Thanks for this. I had almost confused the name with Ned Price - that guy who fatuously smacks his lips after every other sentence...

They will be on that base and rockets and mortars will rain down in them. VBIEDs will be constant.

These guys are sitting ducks.

Eventually, even if the Taliban approves this, an Afghan civilian will be kille and all bets are off. These guys will be massacred.

On a side note, an earlier article stated that, according to the Pentagon the guys in the car weren’t involved in what happened at the airport.

Interesting.

I also notice that there’s no mention of the Taliban guards that allowed the bomber to get through their cordon.

I guess the Taliban gets a pass on this one.

This will never end.

And while this is happening, ISIS will infiltrate this country as phony refugees or make their way to Mexico via Africa and come over our alleged southern border.

If this happens, I would not want to be ISIS-K members. These SAS fighters are some of the world’s toughest and best and they absolutely mean business. They don’t even need firearms to kill the bad guys. The barbarians will never see them or hear them before they quickly depart this Earth.

Erik Prince repeated this on Steve Bannon's War Room show last week. He made this offer directly to President Trump in 2017 but the generals talked President Trump out of it. He repeated the offer to Biden's advisors in February of this year but they also turned him down. Erik Prince was operating over 50 aircraft in Afghanistan at the time and could have maintained the operation himself. The cost of $3 billion per year would have been less than 5% of what we were then spending.

The Pineapple Express, right?

I have a friend that is originally from Iran and is a citizen of us now. He said afghanis (taliban) are a tribe called pashtun. They are implementing their language in alot of the broadcasts there. Farci was spoken more and now its spoken less. Taliban are sunni and Iran are shia. Isis K is probably Iran pissed at the Taliban for going their own way. And the old sunni shia battles starting up again.

there’s pineapple, dunkirk, and 2 others at least. I’m not sure if prince has attached to any of the above or if he’s running independent high-value targets

GOOD intentions... BAD idea.

They have NO supply line and the minute they expected help from Slow Joe and his gang, they'd find like those already SOLD OUT by Dementia-ridden Biden, they'd be, on their own, left to die.

In response to the Iran-Iraq war, Kissinger said “It’s a pity both sides can’t lose”. The bottom line is... when muslims are killing muslims... stay out of the way!

Erik Prince is an attention whore.

The operator beards who work for him are reckless fools.

Eventually they will run into a Taliban fighter who knows how to use a rifle, and isn’t on the DeepState payroll; a fighter who sincerely loves his country and wants the foreign Powers finally out.
