Section9, I always read your posts. I tend to agree with you 99% of the time. You always have good insight.

However, I have to disagree with you here. No way is SAS getting the takedown on Bin Laden or Al Zawahiri. (If UBL is even alive).

The American Special Forces would have none of it. They are very competitive and our Special Op's guys (DEVGRU & DELTA) have risked way to much in the past 3 years not to be allowed this takedown.

Trust me, if a takedown happens on UBL or Zawahiri it will be conducted by the Jedi Knights of DEVGRU or DELTA (probably members of both).

My thinking is partly political. Firstly, the SAS are the senior special ops service. They know things about the Northwestern Frontier States and Afghanistan that we are only beginning to figure out. But of greater import, an SAS capture would help Tony Blair out big time. Tony has stood by our side, for the right reasons, when few others in Europe, and most of the subjects of his own country, did not want him to.

Let's just say that the takedown will be a joint SAS/DELTA operation.

Be Seeing You,
