We may very well be withdrawing the bulk of our troops from Afghanistan next year, but a significant number of UK Special Forces will remain in a Country that will be reoccupied by the Taliban if not even more off shoots of Al Qaeda  Government will not comment on Special Forces , and rightly so, but you can guarantee that there will be a significant SF force in Mali.The War on terror is not a computer game and we switch the `Lets come home` button , job done on Global Jihad.This Government is already masacreing the British Army and wasting millions on a second aircraft carrier that will be mothballed as soon as its built, to be fair this is a result of a Labour Government  spending money they never had. We need Special Forces now more than ever as we seem to want to fight Wars on a budget with part timers, its a shame we cant sack 600 MPs and replace them with sane and uncoruptable people, its Ironic that when Cameron is waltzing around Africa dishing out foreign aid and our `military advisers` that its the SAS that's watching his back.

British troops could be in Mali for longer than a year if they are not sacked

British troops could be in Mali for more than a year, Downing Street has suggested, in a further deepening of the UK’s military commitment to the conflict.Up to 40 military personnel will take part in a European Union mission to train Malian government soldiers, which will last for up to 15 months, a spokesman for the Prime Minister said. A further 200 British troops have been earmarked to take part in a separate training mission to support the Malian government organised by West African states, which will take place outside Mali. The details of the two training programmes are expected to be agreed early next month, Downing Street said. The disclosure came as MPs called for a vote on what they fear could be a long and drawn-out deployment of British troops to fight against al Qaeda in North Africa. Up to 330 UK troops are to be deployed to the region under existing plans.Read More HERE
