A British soldier killed in Iraq two weeks ago turned out to be an SAS man. What does it say about British special forces in Iraq, and the Anglo-American coalition's chances of defeating insurgency?
The press release said simply: "It is with deep regret that the Ministry of Defence must confirm the death of a British soldier in Iraq today, 26 March 2008. The soldier died as a result of gunshot wounds sustained during a firefight in the early hours of this morning."

One view could be, that local parties cooperate with coalition troops as long as it's for their own benefit, but same time they do not mind, if coalition troops get killed.

The problem could be though, that we are just arming them for a future internal conflict after the troops pull out.
this has been a common scenario in the past.
