They protested, we searched them and then they were made forcibly aware that they were under arrest.”

I love British understatement.

Nobody uses the English language quite like the English...

“That will have done our cause here immeasurable good because the people here now know that we are right behind them doing everything we can to rid them of the regime that has blighted their lives for so long.”

Not to be a pessimist, but as soon as these heroes are gone, the cockroaches (Fedayeen) will be back. Only a permanent presence will uproot this evil. Maybe a group of opposition Iraqis can be organized to exploit the locals' knowledge of who previously had what position, to deal with these scum.

We'll have to repeat the procedure that was used to de-nazify Germany. Except this time, use more rope.

"BRITISH forces staged a dawn raid on a Baath Party headquarters yesterday after receiving intelligence that it was still being used to exert Saddam Hussein's will."

There should be no need for "intelligence" about Baath headquarters - they should be automatic targets. And all party members should be taken prisoner. Sort them out after the war.

Otherwise, well done!

"The officer Commanding Z Company, Major Duncan McSporran, told the villagers that the building now belonged to them."

That is awesome!!!

"Captain Cartwright said he made sure that all the villagers could see the men being led into the back of a British Army Warrior in handcuffs"

Fantastic! Be sure to let your troops know how much we appreciate them!

Ivan,lad, methinks Duncan McSporran liberated a couple of bottles of single malt. May the good Lord, bless both the Scotch and the Scot.

In a filing cabinet were two bottles of single malt whisky.

Ah. The spoils of war. These guys have earned it. ;~))
