The SAS Were Inside Iraq Two Days Before the Invasion. Washington Never Confirmed They Were There.

The SAS Were in Iraq Two Days Before the Invasion. Washington Never Confirmed It.

Two days before the first coalition tanks crossed the border, the SAS were already inside Iraq. No official confirmation was ever issued by Washington. No joint statement. No acknowledgment that British special forces had been operating on the ground before the invasion was publicly declared. What they were doing in those 48 hours — the targets they hit, the intelligence they gathered, the positions they secured — remained off the record. The mission happened. The record says otherwise.

Some wars start before they're announced.
