IMO the Germans didn't do any worse than the current
US Special Forces that were searching for Osama Bin Laden or Saddam
Hussein. Same situtation in both Afghanistan and Iraq with resistance.


The current British , Australian and German special forces didn't have any
luck finding Bin Laden either.

Probably because they were not tasked with it. IIRC they were deployed
on counter-Taliban tasking in Afghanistan, and the tales from Iraq
have not yet emerged excepting the role the Aussies played in securing
some stuff out West, not the kind of high value target search you're
talking about.


Nice piece of revisionism Kemp. Next you'll tell us the British SAS
wasn't tasked with their now-discredited Scud Hunt in 1991.

For several months the British and Australian SAS were searching caves
in Afghanistan, and specifically looking for al Qaeda members of any rank.
