UK TROOPS: 'Whatever happens out there, we will win'

Poor Saddam. Too bad he didn't get a degree in military history before taking
on the U.K. and the USA.
As the old advert. said "You can learn a lot by watching a dummy"...
he should have checked the example of Hitler, Mussolini, and Tojo.

He can make things nasty...but he can't survive if this thing goes full-bore.

So we have 3 para, HMS Ocean with its Marine Commando, sundry RFAs with embarked Marine Commandos and HMS ArkRoyal with its Harriers removed and choppers embarked instead.

And who knows where the SAS bricks are at this moment.

Note Ark Royal is without CAP. This is only tolerable if it is relying on CAP from an allied carrier.

An interesting joint exercise.

;-)

Nahhhh,

he is, was, and forever will rely on the UN for cheap victories. The guy's in denial.

He's also toast. :-)
