silent wings 0 Posted February 7, 2002 just now on the news it said that delta force apparently launcehed an attack and seized the WRONG people and quite probably killed innocents in a raid!against highly wanted terrorsits, i dont think the SAS would have cocked it up.

Charlie_McSheenie 1 Posted February 7, 2002 They probably would've if they got bogus intelligence off the US, thats why most of the SAS operations were compromized in the gulf - bad intelligence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silent wings 0 Posted February 7, 2002 mmmm either bad intelligence or none. too confident maybe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wobble 1 Posted February 7, 2002 what a stupid fucking topic. that kinda shit happens ALL THE TIME in special forces snatch operations.. on all sides.. its not as simple as "oh they are here lets go get them".. "intellegence" is a matter of finding an insider to tell you when and where yer quarry is going to be.. and seeing as how the taleban and most the people who would know anything about where or when anyone would be are religousley against anything wastern.. its probably VERY VERY hard to get reliable info from any of them.. this kinda shit happens all the time in times of war for all nations.. grow up.. perhaps the SAS would have done it right.. but who knows.. all they ever do is sit on their ass these days... buts oh well.. its fun to speculate.

chickenman 0 Posted February 7, 2002 WOW spot the yank It was the british SAS after all that came out and said they were withholding information from the US due to them believing that the US was a security leak. The example given was the US going to press on chasing Osama through his mobile phone tri-angulantions, and shortly after that, Osama stopped using it. That could be only a little bit of the story, but hey, i saw it on the news, so it must be true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wobble 1 Posted February 7, 2002 security leak for what.. its not like they ever do anything.. was the US going to "leak" what the SAS guys favorite TV program was.. which might lead to that station being attacked? that would be aout right.. never do anything and then when ya manage to get some deacent info.. keep it from the people who could get some use of it. All I see in this topic is the contradiction in terms in 'american intelligence' what yer ineptly going for is "oxymoron".. not contradiction in terms. intellegence indeed...

chickenman 0 Posted February 7, 2002 I'm not much of a military know it all, but I'd guess that the british SAS would not broadcast to the world what they do at all, whether training or real life. I seriously doubt that the brit's their best troops deployed there and they are doing nothing with them.. As for the SAS's favourite television shows, when Australia was deploying our SAS to the Gulf war (In which we were apparently only doing search and rescue, but a brit sas officer said something along the lines of "if they are anything like our guys, they'll be doing a fair bit more than just that" with a bit of a wink) the media were not allowed to publish anything identifying them at all. the press took photo's of them at the beach, with all the officers standing with their backs to the camera. They take their shit pretty seriously and quietly...... No need to get the shits though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaxx 0 Posted February 7, 2002 If the SAS ever did anything worthwhile, you might have an argument. What's the point of this thread? To harass americans? Geez, what a complex you must have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
