The Libyan desert never did agree with British troops...
Oh, I’m sure that the UK releasing that Lockerbie terrorist who was on death’s door as a humanitarian gesture will buy these SAS men a lot of goodwill with Khadafy.
Was he wearing a red shirt? Ok, not to make light of it but... This is why the junior personnel go out and make contact first.
Not sure I'd want to be those rebels when the next SAS team comes in to free their brethren. They will have very different ROE.
The last thing the rebels need is division, although many of them seem to think they need external help and clearly a lot of us foreigners do want to help em.
Seems like there's more to the story...
uhbummer probably ratted them out..
so the limey poofters will have to own up their own increasing dhimmification and emasculation, all by themselves.
NO cheers, unfortunately. This will just convince the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, "The Arab Street" etc. that the West is just a bunch of p*ssies.
Speaking of which...
Well, they were probably wearing Red, making them easy to identify.
Worked out for for us... Twice.
4th person in a British Star Trek landing party?
UK ‘to send team of spies’ to help oust Gadhafi...
British Army readies for mission at 24 hours’ notice...
Obama goes golfing...
Note OBAMA goes golfing
Bad move by the so called “Muslim Brotherhood.” Can’t blame the brits for seeking to rescue their diplomat.
If the MB harms them, then the wrath to come will be unconscionable. Since the brits will act independent of the UN and the US to protect their own. Which is all they were trying to do, in the first place.
They should have send their carrier group those harriers could have come in handy.
Oh wait
Isn’t this the same country whose navy surrendered to an Iranian gunboat?
The Brit’s own Operation Eagle Claw?
Considering Iran & AQ have bases there now this is not too bright.
sooooo....this shows that the rebels are just as anti west as Kadafi. Take their oil and the hell with em.
Prayers for the soldiers and for their loved ones.
Why is anyone from a western country playing around with these animals?
Wait out the civil war, once they have descimated each other we could come in and mop up then establish a new figurehead.
Note to the Brits: Could this be what happens when you acquire a rep for double-dealing....?
