Why don't the SAS get in there and bust him out? |  |

Cos they don't know where he is and they aren't going to risk more lives. |  | | |

How come they used to do things like this when technology wasn't as good as it is now? I'm sure they used to do rescue missions years ago? | |

I'd imagine they, and other secret services are already in there. |  |

Have you seen the area where IS are? Northern Iraq and North East Syria. We have no control anywhere near the area. A full air attack carpet bombing the entire area is the most likely approach. Not much good if you're a relative of mr Haines granted. | | | |

Oh right. I thought he was in a semi detached somewhere.
With the files being uploaded to media sites of the beheadings, I'm sure they've got co ordinates of the whereabouts? | |

They tried to get Ken Bigley out didn't they, that didn't end well, so I think its probably unlikely that they'll go in to try and get David Haines out. |  |

They used to rescue others though didn't they?
I remember the Iranian Embassy one like it was yesterday. 34 years ago.

There's a lot to consider. They have to be sure where he is to start with. They suspect hostages are being held in Raqqa, I think.
Then they have to weigh up the chances of a successful extraction. If it looks like being a suicide mission, or one that will get more innocent people killed, they won't go.
With the probability that hostages are very well guarded, even if they know the exact location, the mission wont happen unless there's that high chance of success.
Remember the American rescue mission in Iran? Complete debacle, half assed, badly planned and executed.
The SAS don't do half assed or badly planned.
PS, co-ordinates of where the beheadings happened don't mean a thing. Hostages could be transported hundreds of miles away, purely for security reasons. They will be expecting rescue missions, they won't make them easy. | |

Lets hope they get hold of the animal that killed the two Americans while they're at it and hang him upside down and gut him like a pig, that'll learn him. | |
