  SAS reveal the war they fought - War on Iraq - smh.com.au
One of the Iraqis' tactics was for a vehicle to surrender, encouraging the SAS to continue forward.
"I have no doubt they thought we were a much larger force." The SAS were outnumbered, but surprise and stealth and superior weaponry enabled them to "poke out their eyes" and "crush their spirit and will" to force the enemy to "run or surrender".
SAS patrols have also intercepted a number of convoys with fleeing Iraqi regime leaders on their way out of Iraq, and caught Arab fighters answering Saddam Hussein's call for a jihad coming the other way.
