#1 The Tallies have been saying this for months. They are trying to split off an important part of the Coaltion allied against them and Binny.

Let them expose their fannies, the UK troops are much more than their match.

#2 Time for another Scottish bayonett charge.

Watch the tali run like scared mice.

#3 I hope the Brits can entice the talibs into a mass attack and call in the B-52s. There needs to be more proactive ambushing of the turbans by our team.

#4 They should use the old trick of tying captured ones to the front of artillery guns, though that is no doubt strongly discouraged in the tech manual.

#9 British officers in Helmand have said they are facing a "rocky period ahead".

A few B-52 and B-1 airstrikes on a number of "villages" in Pakwhackland will put an end to that threat. Try it. Give the Yanks a call.
