I don't disagree. The key thing about the SAS method though is the interaction of martial arts and pistolcraft. The concept is to use speed, surprise and hyper-aggressive unarmed combat technique, derived from some of the stuff that site discusses, to dominate and control the terrorist in the midst of a crowd of panicking civilians, get him into a position where you can fire without hitting civilians and then empty a clip into him rapid fire, as close as possible.
Ha. It's so easy to arm-chair quarterback...after the fact. It's all nonsense. Nobody knows what they would do when faced with situations like these, and it's ridiculous to imply that one's politics and/or nationality automatically dictate one's personal courage or even will to live. (Jokes about the French aside, lol).
It's also a case of "it wouldn't happen to me." I know I've often wondered if I would have been brave enough to do what the passengers of the PA flight did. I like to think so, but I can't be sure.
So reliable that the Chief executive had to resign over misrepresenting the facts during the Iraq war?
Yes, he had to go. You can not have biased persons there.
Shoot first, ask questions later.
It's like after 911. They will crawl into their holes for a while. Then slowly they will emerge, ready to do everything in their power to turn England over to the Muslims.
Your account struck a long forgotten incident in London. Not to contradict myself, but now I remember. More years ago than I can count.
A crowd grabbed a child molester and "frog marched him down to the local police station". This is why I remember- frog marched- I stand corrected, but he was grabbed by both arms and legs.
Perhaps molestation is the final last straw for good souls. So it should be.
I pose a simple observation.
According to reports I have read and seen on CNN & FNC - the three cops jumped on and covered this sub-human piece of garbage - to hold him down - prevent his escape - and to also stop him from detonating a bomb and killing many innocent civiian Londoners and tourists on that train -
I believe one report said this slimebag rushed into the car - grabbed a pole and a passenger -
The three English bobbies also covered this son of camel dung like and explosive blanket - shielding the train passengers on that car from any possible - and likely - explosion
These three Brit coppers have huge brass ones and literally jumped on what they thought - was a live grenade Xs 10 -
My tweed hat is off and my respect and admiration go to these three courageous London law enforcement officers!
The spirit of 007 is alive and well in Olde England - except this was not a book or movie -
Taking a wild guess at least one of the three was bloody Scot - probably with some Clan MacLeod/McLeod warrior heritage that comes from the dainty Vikings from Norway and Denmark some 700 years ago -
God bless you three and the brave English citizens who are fighting the second Battle of Britain!
Perhaps interrogations should be carried out by an proper English rugby team - well lubricated with fine UK adult beverages -
America stands with you all to the end....
P.S. - The terrorist bombings today in Egypt have riled my liberal NYC sister - who has traveled to Egypt twice - and has been unable to visit Egypt again for some years - because of danger to tourists -
Between London and Egypt you Islamic nutcase terrorists are annoying many liberals who love to travel abroad and spend a few bucks and take in the sights and history and food -
You are in their sights now - be prepared to meet your end as in "Hannibal and Pork Pig" -
England should issue their response teams with fox hunting horns. The thought of special branch types chasing their prey to the sounds of a hunting horn...
Scavenger buzzards they are!!
Perfect Picture,Smart
Thanks for the ping!
I agree with what you posted until this, "America stands with you all to the end...." England has become an Arab nation due to its immigration laws. That is not yours nor my fault. They will suffer for their mistakes the same way we do.
Correct -
The ol' "peace in our time crap"
But that quick gutsy action on the train would not happen in NYC or DC or LA or Chicago today - Maybe in Texas - Right out of a classic Clint Eastwood - "Dirty Harry" flick
Mayor Bloomberg would cry and apologize - the ACLU and CAIR would sue - Hillary and Schumer would hide and have a Rovian presser -
I think the Home Secretary's "get right or get out" speech in Parliament set the tone -
I bet Londoners have a lot more respect for their Bobbies today -
I wish they had that on videocam - play that sucker on FNC and watch the Brits nail that moron -
FNC said that MI5 and MI6 have sniper and reponse teams shadowing Islamic terrorist suspects now - Well - I guess they do - Kinda like the SAS -
I hope Mayor "Red Ken" Livingston enjoyed it -
One suggestion to the Brits - upgrade from 9mm to Colt .45acp Blue Glaser - goes in like an olive - comes out the size of a softball - you can never have too much gun

Parliment would have puppies just thinking a bobbies was carrying a true weapon of offense!
I have just stolen your pig .gif to laugh at every mooslim story where they get what they deserve. Part of this WOT should include ridicule at the preposterous ideations they excuse their actions upon.
haven't seen much about their intent to protect the travelers....good bump.
LOL, that's how I got it!!
I hope Meek saw it as he liked to post the non animated version of it!
