A fine soldier. I'll tip a glass to 'im this evening. Those SBS/SAS commandos are a good bunch.

[GATOR NAVY]

I thought according to the lefties there were no al-Qaeda in Iraq.

[Dog]

He helped kill alot of bad guys..

[rogue yam]

Dozens of enemy fighters were killed in the attack

I'd like to know more about this.

May God be with the family of Corporal Ian Plank and give them peace.

[FReepaholic]

God bless all of them.

They're killing the vermin that would kill our families.

Thats the way I would want to go:

With the enemy beneath my feet,
With my nation's flag on my shoulder,
With my weapon (smoking) in my hand,
my brothers to bring me home,
and the American flag on my casket.

I can't think of a better way to go ;) (well, I can think of alot of WORSE ways to go)

God bless him and the US-UK-Australian defense of civilization.

[Roy Tucker]

God Bless Cpl. Plank. Western civilization owes him a great debt.

[Dog]

I hope I live long enough to read about these raids after they declassify them..

Special Boat Service Corporal Ian Plank, 31, was gunned down in a battle with al-Qaeda terrorists.

Four SAS soldiers were also wounded by guerrillas linked to Osama bin Laden's terror network.

Cpl Plank and his team attacked a rebel hideout in the desolate wastes in the north of Iraq on Friday night.

Is this confirmed?

If so, why are we still hearing about "no link between Saddam and bin Laden?"

If these aren't smoking guns, what are?

[colorado tanker]

Ping for a hero's story.

[doug from upland]

God rest the souls of those who are sacrificing their lives so that freedom may live and the Islamo-fascist terrorists may be defeated.
