The SAS Lieutenant-Colonel on the ground, believing that ‘politically motivated’ commanders in the UK were ‘unable to make rational and effective decisions’, sent in a rescue team anyway – fearful that within hours the captured men could have been spirited away or executed.Something to think about when you stroll to the voting booth today..?
The rescuers blasted their way into the police station in Basra where the two soldiers were being held and saved them.

Think? The British electorate think? I would love to be proven wrong today but I doubt it.
What Oldrightie said. Love the fact that even now in the UK armed Forces there are 'Politically Motivated Commanders'. The New LAbour Virus will take year to be cleansed from them and the police etc etc etc.
Linda Bellos was running the Army's diversity recruitment programme for a while back in 2001-ish. Probably still there. That says a lot really.
Nothing like a bit of gunboat diplomacy to sort things out. I approve most strongly.
You've just got to 'explain it right.'
"Something to think about when you stroll to the voting booth today..?"
Aye, I was probably going anyway, as I have a UKIP candidate, but when I read this in the Mail, it made up my mind for me.
"Think? The British electorate think? I would love to be proven wrong today but I doubt it."
You weren't proven wrong, in a lot of seats... :(
