Damn, the British soldiers are doing a good job! I had an image the the British were too soft, but it seems they do the job when it's neccessary. Not bad.

It said the Special Air Service soldiers “engaged” the Arab insurgents...

Oh, goody! I love engagements! This is where they give them rings and pledge undying love, right?

was triggered by a second party, who kissed the bomber goodbye, stepped out of the car and then detonated his friend’s explosives.


This is sort of like Hillery! telling Harry Reid to
keep up the fight on filibusters.

"Go get'em Harry, I'm right behind you..."

First the engagement, then the “Arab wedding.”

Is that a gay thing?

SAS Motto: Who Dares Wins


To give a detailed account of the history of the British SAS during World War II would take a book. However due to the fact that we can't provide the space for a detailed account of there actions, we can give a brief history of the unit and it role during World War II.

I had the opportunity to work next to these guys in Australia back in the 80's. They were a very focused and capable force. They were always saying their missions were a success if you never knew they were there. Best snipers on the planet!

Don't mess with the SAS. I saw that scrawled on the wall of a London pub around '84 or so.

Syria and Iran were occupying most of my attention but know it seems Saudi Arabia is in the run for silver or gold in the Terrorist Sponsoring competition.
