Photos from Iraq (the mass-media forgot) These are some of the best photos thus far.
numerous ^ | 2004

The majority in the mass-media only wish the general public to view the chaos, evil & even tragic deaths of Coalition troops caused by Islamic terrorists via 'homicide' car bombings, triggered by demented, death driven mad men. Free Iraqis are also putting their lives on the line everyday in their brave service in the Iraqi Army & police forces. It's high time the public is shown Coalition forces for all the various humanitarian assistance they have been offering the normal freedom loving people of Iraq. The very real sacrifice Coalition troops are making every day of the week will be shown here frequently. If there are those which would like to pool photo research just drop me a line. ========================================================================

With regard to the appearance that this person is not a Polish soldier but actually a U.S. soldier, the rifle he's using is almost certainly an American Barret M107 .50 caliber semi-auto sniper rig.

Barret M107....

You've got that right. FR & the Internet took on the MSM with a big can of whoop @$$ and sent them into irrelevance.

That was the 1st thing that came to my mind too! That sick perverted flag burning traitor got here just rewards, as I'm sure this fine woman will too at the end of a full and wonderful life, I think her reward won't be quite as warm as rachaels' tho' (if you get my drift)

They shoot well through walls/cars with AP.

In cities you actually get very squirrelly winds. A 12.7mm round with its weight tends to not be affected much.

Once you have a less target rich environment and movement is not that necessary, a heavy sniper rifle such as this brings advantages with it. In a target rich environment, you may not want a heavy bulky weapon like this but rather a M21 or SPR (If you can get one of those). The M24 (Remington Sendero[spelling] essentially) is the general purpose sniper rifle to this day for the Army. Leopold makes practically all scopes. Some scopes have a modified reticle (I think it’s the 3x10 Vario). Harris is the most common used Bipod. Ammo is usually match grade but they really have both explosive and AP for the 50 cal.

Just wishful thinking here, but maybe SeeBS will decline so much Viacom will sell them off at a bargain price and somebody willing to air more family-oriented programming and honest journalism will buy them out.

I thought Kerry said that the U.S. was there alone... I hope he didn't try to mislead us.
