All’s well that ends well. It really doesn't matter who killed the monster, just that the monster is dead.

Bravo to the SAS or whoever did the deed.

The SAS has an incredible history along with its sister/brother units. It’s “who dares wins” as their moto says. Excellent work.

Wearing a flowing cotton shirt, and carrying a child in one arm, the man shuffled slowly and silently towards a gate and the front of the compound...suddenly the man raised his hidden arm to reveal a pistol.

Typical.

How many “Sargeant A’s” are there in US special forces?

Given that he needed skin-tanning, I assume he’s a gringo. But having the language ability and cultural knowledge that would allow him to pass as a local Iraqi car merchant? Quite impressive.

Has 0bama claimed credit for this yet?

They were armed with short-barrelled machine guns and carried alsatian dogs. The remaining windows were smashed and the dogs thrown inside.

Scaling down a building while holding a dog takes some skill. Smashing the window while holding the dog and then tossing the dog in takes even more skill. BTW, I had to look up Alsatian to see what kind of dog it is. It is a German Shepherd, just a different name.

I like this part:

Suddenly SAS troopers dressed in black kit scaled the rooftop and swung down.

They were armed with short-barrelled machine guns and carried alsatian dogs. The remaining windows were smashed and the dogs thrown inside.

I am a big dude, grew up as the only white kid in the hood, played football through college, played hockey until my mid 30s, and have hundreds of fights under my belt.

Carrying Alsatians while fast roping off a roof in the middle of that Hellhole??????

Blessed Mother, please, please, please don't ever let me piss off one of those little Spector guys. I don't want my big ass knocked out by someone who weighs a buck fifty

Still think there should be a 20 year wait before releasing any info.

I had to get pretty far through the article to see how Bisto fits in:

To succeed where others failed, Sergeant A – his identity cannot be revealed – went undercover, joining a group of Iraqi counter-terrorist personnel called Apostles and setting up a car dealership in an open-air market in the Rusafa district of Baghdad. His hair dyed, his face blackened by layers of fake tan – or Bisto gravy granules when he ran out – and wearing brown contact lenses, Sergeant A mingled with Rusafa’s movers and shakers, bought and sold cars and recruited sources.
