I would think that, if our SF people can really offer a positive outcome in this scenario, then why not put them in play? Unfortunately I suspect that the current government are more interested in the "media" kudos than reality. Who announces that they are about to deploy SF troops? Totally counter productive, unless it's some sort of twisted political spin. Perhaps as a normal bloke, and ex service, my opportunity to see anything of even a small, let alone "the big" picture could blur my thinking, but like Danny42C I believe that it's yet another political whim we should not chase.
