New Secret team to hunt Osama and Saddam Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

----------------------------------
Friday, November 07, 2003

WASHINGTON — A new covert military team has been set up by top U.S. military commanders in the Middle East to hunt down Usama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein and other wanted fugitives in the war on terror, Fox News confirmed Friday.

The classified team, which was first reported in The New York Times on Friday, is called "Task Force 121," and is a combination of Task Force 5 from Afghanistan and Task Force 20 in Iraq under one command. The goal is to streamline how U.S. forces are using information about "high-value targets" and to launch attacks against them.

Operations to root out Al Qaeda's top leaders in Afghanistan and the deposed Iraqi dictator will continue "24-7," one senior official told Fox News, but the combination of assets under one command umbrella provides a flexibility that was not available to commanders before. Operations could continue simultaneously in both countries with the force split, or a variety of task force assets may be allocated to Iraq or Afghanistan as intelligence points up an immediate need.

So we take two existing taskforces under SOCOM, combine them into one, which for geographic reasons, will still operate independently, and we call it a "new" "secret" force?

Slow news day, or we need some good sounding spin since the body count spiked this week?

It's an old Steven Segal movie. The bad guys used Willie E. Coyote and Roadrunner as their call signs... just seemed suiting. I watched it the other day and your comment reminded me of it

In 1970, a crack commando unit was sent to Mingapulco by an Internet court for a crime they didn't commit. They promptly escaped from a maximum security banning to the Apolyton underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as moderators of fortune. If you have a problem, if no-one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team.

My guess is that Fox is already producing the made-for-TV movie which will usher in the series next fall. That will be about as close as the force will get to nailing either one of those guys.

Hmm...maybe Ronnie and Nancy were about to do an expose' tell-all, resulting in the protests and ultimate cancellation of the mini-series!
