'SAS TROOPS armed with sniper rifles and heavy machine guns have killed at least 200 evil Islamic State (ISIS) extremists in a series of deadly raids in the past year.
Soldiers from the elite fighting unit have eliminated the barbaric terrorists in war-torn Syria and Iraq by calling in air strikes, carrying out deadly ambushes and using long-range sniper fire.
They have even organised groups of Peshmerga fighters - forces in Iraqi Kurdistan who are fighting the blood-thirsty terror group - into guerrilla units.
In one of the most effective raids British special forces destroyed an entire 20-vehicle fuel convoy, killing up to 20 jihadis.
The SASs raids are intended to degrade ISIS' fighting capability ahead of a spring offensive by 20,000 Iraqi and Kurdish troops next year, with the UK providing additional training for these soldiers.'

There ain’t gonna be a “next year” for ISIS, now that the Rooskies are in town.
David Cameron promises to ‘beef up’ the SAS to take the fight to Isil
Exclusive interview: Prime Minister says the government will buy 20 new drones known as Protectors that can target Isil extremists in Syria and Iraq
Right; no protection by stupid ROE from that quarter!
I wonder how long it took for Barry to try routing the SEALS over there to take out SAS guys. I wonder how much faster he was told to go to hell.
Ministry of Silly Walks...
Cool!
.338 Lapua.
Reach out and touch someone
Now that the Russians finally have made it clear that ISIS defeat is even POSSIBLE (indeed likely), the West realizes there will be a post-struggle arrangement and wants to have some claim in it.
For that reason ALONE, Western forces fiiiinally get serious.
Were it not for Russia, we would not be seeing this now.
The US air campaign has been TOTAL artifice.
I have 2 concerns. The first is all of the time training fighters. Allies today can be enemies tomorrow.
Also, we have seen how utterly ball-less the Iraqi and Afghanis are.
All in all, good job SAS! Death to ISIS!
Meanwhile, Obama waits and prays for his lost Muslim brothers
I see big hammers but no anvils.
our special forces are sitting around while obama cultivates more terrorist.
THAT is our commander-in-chief, ladies and gentlemen.
It’d be utterly hilarious if it weren’t such a critical time.
Yep!
