Suddenly, without my being aware of his approach, a man appeared at my shoulder. "The last time we met was on that bridge," he said, pointing up at the TV screen. I took my eyes off him for a moment and he did it again. He just disappeared. Whoa, that kicks ass!
By the way Ivan, if I may ask, and if you can somehow find a way to subtley convey the word, what did the guy say when he said "Who the **** are you?". If the guy were American, I would assume it was the "F" word. What word do the Brits generally use?

You're correct in assuming what swear word was used.

Special forces were also trying to pinpoint the whereabouts of Ali Hassan al-Majid, known as "Chemical Ali", a cousin of Saddam who organised the gassing of the Kurds in 1986 and who had been in command of the Iraqi army in the south. He is believed to have taken refuge in civilian houses and yesterday, tipped off by "a reliable source on the ground", the British attacked a building that Chemical Ali had been seen entering. This seems unreal. Hope it's a direct hit.

LOL! That's awesome. Suddenly Batman seems a lot more plausible, what with disappearing like that without her noticing.

Great story. Thanks for posting it.
Your lads are kicking alotta bad guy a$$, Ivan. Bravo Zulu!
I had an occasion two weeks ago to briefly visit with a couple of your (I know they were SAS -- they did not need to tell me) lads. I expressed my thanks for what they and their peers are going through (the Brits had had a tough couple of days early on, you will recall) and wished them Godspeed.
Glad they are on our side!

Dressed in civvies - cargo trousers and a T-shirt - he didn't look like a soldier. On the other hand, he was obviously British, and he did have an impressive telescopic sight atop his rifle. "You don't need to know," he said ominously. Realisation dawned: he was a member of the special forces. More to come.
(Gratefully.)

"The last time we met was on that bridge," he said, pointing up at the TV screen. I took my eyes off him for a moment and he did it again. He just disappeared.This journalist was being reminded there was a story to be told and this brave SAS was reminding her that he expected it to be done.
To: MadIvan
Awesome, simply awesome!
My Mother-in-Law is British. Great girl, she has a standing invite to visit us any time. I love to hear the stories about WWII.
Her Brother and his wife live here in town, we visit often. He was on a "motor torpedo patrol" boat in WWII. He loves it when I call him and say, "Did you see what your mates were up to today?" He will get a real kick from this story.
I tell them all, loud and often, "God Bless the UK!"
