#1 Me-thinks I'll lift a Foster's to toast our South Pacific brethern this evening.

I can't wait until the Special Ops stories from this war come out into the open. These amazing folks are truly a secret weapon.

#2 the special forces were given the task of hunting down missile sites that could be used to send weapons of mass destruction into Israel. Several missile sites have been destroyed...

Did they save some of those Scuds to show Blixie?
Be nice if they did.

#3 I have pleasant visions dancing in my head of a long line of burned out tour buses strung out between the Jordanian border and Baghdad, each of them chock full of roasty-toasty jihadi corpses. If that should be true, I promise, I'll never say another disparaging word about Foster's.

#4 Fred---I wouldn't be suprised if the SAS did that very thing and left them as visual aids for subsequent travellers along the road to death.

#5 Snicker, use them as mile markers, and range stakes.
