BBC News - Islamic State action 'not ruled out' by David Cameron

Why hasn't the SAS gone in to save the captured Briton yet? Why is our proxy Prime Minister only considering military action?
I say get one of the worlds best trained and elite forces (the SAS) out there and save any Brits and westerners that have been captured by ISIS, or any other terrorist group!
Any ideas and opinions?

Default Britain held hostage by ISIS: Why hasn't Cameron considerd militory action yet?!

Apparently it's a whole lot easier (and less expensive) to suspend civil liberties.

If you do not know exactly where they are or give too much warning the hostage is as good as dead, along with some SAS team members. Military actions are not as cut and dry as some seem to believe.

Probably because he's afraid he might have to go it all alone. Like most of the world's leaders, he probably has good reason to believe that Obama will not help in any way other than by making speeches and by bombing a few old trucks. At this time, the United States is projecting a clear sign of wishey-washey leaderless indecision and total lack of commitment.

Well, the American people were told that our satellites could spot a gnat walking across the Sahara Desert barefoot and that they were listening to everyone in the world's cell phone conversations.

Military actions seems very easy to those who never seen combat


While they at it, why don't send SAS to take out that idiot in North Korea, too?

One cannot tell who's gnat it is and seeing something and doing something about it are two different animals.

Nope that was propaganda, they were not and are not listening to conversations, in most cases they were simply tracking the numbers and calls not the conversations. Not as easy as one thinks when I can buy a case of throw away phones and no one knows who bought the case or who is using the phones.
