The Mail on Sunday has been given a detailed account of how elite troops from the SAS and the Special Reconnaissance Regiment (SRR) are conducting high-tech operations inside Syria and Iraq, which could lead to the capture of the extremists within days.

It emerged as reports suggested that British intelligence services had identified the true identity of the terrorist who beheaded Mr Foley – as seen in a video which shocked the world - known as 'Jihadi John'.

Americans (a majority of voters) elected Obama. Twice.

There’s now a ‘gay pride’ day in the military.

Our country is fricked.

Soviets Offer 'How-to' Lesson 1986 and Muslims had kidnapped four Soviets
the KGB castrated a relative of a prominent Muslim leader and sent the severed organs to the Muslim, with advice that they knew of his other relatives. The remaining three Soviets were freed immediately.

You can bet that these ISIS scum plan to kidnap scores of Americans -- including right here in the States.

Apply care vis-a-vis mistaken identity but..

It's serious.

It's time.

Do it.

The Brit conservatives are castrati that is for sure, they should be drubbing the leftards over the head with this issue, but they won’t. Let the Left denounce Islam for once, force them to do this.

This kind of information should never be publicized, never telegraph your blow.

Agree. Good for the Brits (on this) though. I hope the SAS unleashes the dogs of war on these cave-dwellers. I wish we had done that a month or so earlier.
