BRITISH SAS heroes have killed up to 50 Taliban commanders in daring raids behind enemy lines.
The joint attacks with US special forces over the past two weeks have helped prepare the ground for the biggest battle in Afghanistan yet - when 4,000 British troops will go into action.

Can you imagine having both the SAS and the SEALS after you!? That’s a form of popularity that most people would rather avoid.
SEALS involved? I hope the SEALS mirandized the Taliban leaders first! It’s the new policy, you know!
I sure hope none of the talbunnies got a bloody lip...
I think they’ll just take care not to take any more prisoners.
I recommend stern implementation of “shoot to kill” orders. We can’t take them into custody anymore without them getting orange glazed chicken, new prayer rugs, Mirandized and an ACLU attorney.
oh jeeeze...I hope the SEALS didn’t give any of the terrorists fat lips...or zer0 will have them arrested and condemned to reeducation camp.
I have a couple friends who are seals. They say the attitude toward captives among them is DEAD=OK, injured=charges. I guess these 50 are a good example.
They look pretty darn “Special” to me.
don't forget the deluxe edition leather bound copy of the koran.
SHHHH!!! If Obama finds out, they’ll all be up facing charges!
That sounds like a Great Start.I just hope it ends for the Terrorist with a bang.
SEAL and SAS new Miranda warnings given after the facts.
We have the right to make you remain silent, forever. Anything we have in our arsenal can and will be used against you in a firefight. You have the right to a hellish journey. If you are afraid to make that journey, one will be appointed to you. We don’t care if you understand these rights as they have been dealt to you?
Truthfully it sounds like somebody is tried of playing patti-cake in Afghanistan. These weren’t just 50 kills, these were 50 leaders. Good job.
everyone feels safer with Marines around
The safest place in Korea was right behind a platoon of Marines. Lord, how they could fight! MGen. Frank E. Lowe, USA; Korea, 26 January 1952
Why in hell can't the Army do it if the Marines can. They are the same kind of men; why can't they be like Marines. Gen. John J. "Black Jack" Pershing, USA; 12 February 1918
Come on, you sons of bitches! Do you want to live forever? GySgt. Daniel J. "Dan" Daly, USMC near Lucy-`le-Bocage as he led the 5th Marines' attack into Belleau Wood, 6 June 1918
Don't you forget that you're First Marines! Not all the communists in Hell can overrun you! Col. Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller, USMC rallying his First Marine Regiment near Chosin Reservoir, Korea, December 1950
The Marines have landed and the situation is well in hand. Attributed to Richard Harding Davis (1864-1916)
A few years back, I had some instruction in hand to hand and edged weapon combat, as well as defensive tactics against a handgun weilding opponent from a former SAS operator. These guys are something else. Do not mess with them.
Let's hope it's: "You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to remain dead."
The terrorists set the standard when it comes to brutality.
Those who get it now deserve a far worse death, but we’ll take what these Men in the field dish out.
Good luck to your friends and those who reach out and touch those who need it.
Wonder how they read them their miranda rights...?
