Contrary to popular opinion, 'shoot to kill' simply increased public support for the IRA. There was nothing quite like the SAS unnecessarily blowing the head off someone with complete legal impunity to support Sinn Fein's assertion that the British Government was not interested in the rule of law and justice. The tabloids might have loved Gibraltar, but it caused a lot of outrage in nationalist communities. Killing people in cold blood convinced many that nothing about the Army's behaviour had changed since Bloody Sunday.that and their ablity to not be able to be tried by a court if the information lead them to believe their was a threat to civilian or armedforces/ their lives, this single rule. allowed the security force to go on the attack and break the criminals backbone forcing them to go down the politcal route.
The SAS were in NI for many many years and didn't have too much success.

I doubt that, unless they start targeting exclusively civilians.
Seems a bit pointless/stupid if all they want to do is kill military, increasing the military levels?

That is exactly the point, the more targets the better. The army will then have to protect itself by increasing its own activities thus fueling the fire. I know there are people who would love army patrols to return to the likes of the bogside and creggan, the RIRA's ranks would swell overnight

perhaps it's best we pull back to our own borders b4 we really P someone off then ! A.B.C. Terrorism ain't nothing to scoff @
nah last thing northern ireland need is a influx of overt troops, i think the situation should be handled covertly with survailance teams and letting northern irealnd police deal withthe situation.
