From: Doyle, Martin Maurice Michael Thomas, 1956- :Digital cartoons

Reference: DCDL-0023252
Description: In October the Prime Minister, John Key, and the news media announced, 'denied', and discussed a plan to send the SAS back to Afghanistan shortly to launch a revenge attack on the Taleban insurgents, for the death of several New Zealand soldiers. The general announcement to the world (and to the Taleban) of a 'surprise attack' was made seriously in October 2012. Contrary to appearances, this was 'not a joke'. Whether the Taleban thought so, is another matter. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
Winter, Mark 1958- :"This must be the SAS?" ... 1 July 2011
Date: 2011
From: Winter, Mark, 1958- : Digital cartoons published in the Southland Times and other papers
By: Southland times (Newspaper)
Reference: DCDL-0018227
Description: In six frames the letters 'SAS' are shown as large stencils. Someone tries to figure out whether he is dealing with the SAS which is 'neither confirmed or denied'. 'SAS' looks the same back to front and if you rearrange the letters you get 'ASS' which gives a message, then there is a black frame and so camouflage is suspected and so it must be the SAS - 'We can neither confirm or deny'. A second version has the words in the blacked-out frame 'Ahh... all black out... there's a clue' and the last frame has text reading 'Trying to conceal the typeface eh?.. it's still the SAS' above the letters 'SAS' which are scribbled over in order to hide them. Context - New Zealand troops are being called into action more frequently as the "summer fighting season" continues in Afghanistan, Prime Minister John Key says. New Zealand SAS members troops were among those to respond yesterday to an attack in Kabul, in which Jan Mohammad Khan (an adviser to President Karzai) and Hasham Atanwal were killed. The PM has revealed the SAS wants its mission extended yet again. This incident will elevate the elite force's pull-out in March 2012 higher on John Key's Washington agenda this week. Two versions of this cartoon are available Quantity: 2 digital cartoon(s).
