Australian Special Forces save 36 Americans

[Wiglaf]

YOU MY FRIEND ARE NOT AWARE OF TWO THINGS ONE OF WHICH IS THAT I'M NOT 43 THE OTHER OF WHICH IS THAT I'M NOT OVERWEIGHT.

Let's STICK TO THE TOPIC and not insults because I could JUST AS EASILY get out of hand and call you all FRENCH FRIES WITHOUT ANY SALT.

SLOW, give me a FOX link, now PLEASE.

[KrazyHorse]

Speaking of FOX "news"...

I haven't seen scientific reporting this bad since third grade.

Half of it is just a rant against statistical methods. The rest is either deliberately misleading or consists of baseless accusations.

[Guynemer]

Quick everyone! Let's lure him into the light...

Whats with this shiat?On one thread you start, you talk about the Boring War on Terrorism .Then you report on same Boring Subject.Is it just the SAS doing its job or you trolling for pundits of praise?

AH,you might win the DNC award for Hypocricy.

As for the Lads in the SAS .jolly good show.It may be you in the Frying Pan nexttime and a yank will pull you out.At least they better.

[Wiglaf]

Very good comments, friend.

I asked for CASUALTY FIGURES, not ADDRESSES.

Huh. Don't shave too often, do they?

[Alexander's Horse]

Our Infantry have to shave and clean their boots and their weapon every morning. Its called morning routine.

I'm putting all these guys on a charge

They're Australians in the mountains of Afganistan during winter.

So I think they're allowed to grow as much hair as they want

[Alexander's Horse]

And loving it

Someone fed Wiggy after midnight again.

Seems so!

And Fox.... Can't get much crappier than that.

Seven of the American fatalities occurred when two U.S. helicopters came under fire Monday. Australian commandos played a crucial role in helping rescue U.S. soldiers from fierce firefights that erupted on the ground after they landed, said Brig. Duncan Lewis, commander of Australia's special forces.
