Please don't get me wrong...I'd be immensely pleased if you Brits got bin Laden! My only point was that, by rights, it ought to be Americans who get him! That's the way the movies always show it, right?
The Brits will probably be used for either flushing or containment (with regard to al Qeade troops / UBL) -
Though, if we get UBL where we will probably get him (that being somewhere on the Pak side of the border) ...."who" got him will probably not truly come out for years...(but politics are constantly at play even within our SOF and those of our Coalition) - And you can bet your bottom dollar that if we get Intel that tells UBL exact whereabouts....it will be our shooters (America) getting the take down.
Though if the Brits funnel him out and grab him in an active OP...then he's theirs for the taking.
Either way let's hope we bag this SOB this year!
