'Stupid infidels! They not recognize us now, eh, Abdul? Piece of pie!'

"Baghdad...is Marlborough Country."
Oh YEA!
The report is exaspertating in its lack of final detail. Were bomb jackets found on the individuals killed? That's implied, of course, but it needs to be stated explicitly. And was the bomb-making house raided immediately? Were any additional people arrested in the house? Was there anyone else in the house? Had basic reportorial skills been applied, the author would have included that information.
I think they were worried about SAS being dead - and we better care about that - highly prized assets.
We did a war game years ago, where the SAS attempted to infiltrate our base. Glad it was just a game. [gulp]
"The first round takes care of the pick-up truck or lorry by shattering the engine block and, as the Taliban fighters try to find out what's going on, they're taken out by the sniper. At 1,200 metres, with the shot echoing around a valley, they won't have a clue what's going on.
Probably looked something like this:
“Splitting the engine block” might be stretching it a bit – but penetrating the cylinder wall will freeze it up.
The DemocRATS and their "human rights" groups aren't going to like this. These three jokers weren't read their Miranda rights prior to being dusted.

Other than the fact that he's dead of course.

I think you're just reading into that what you want to see.
First of all- The Telegraph is the best newspaper in the UK, end of story. They are not a Pro-USA paper nor would I want them to be. They are thoroughly British and report from a British perspective- which is exactly as it should be. They are not afraid to paint the US in a good light but they are also not afraid to report a story that US conservatives might deem negative- which is also exactly as it should be.
At any rate... Nowhere did it say US Intelligence. This is often the story with intelligence anyway. Intelligence isn't 'US intelligence' per se. It's tidbits that come from the ground- i.e. Iraqis who think they might have heard about something or think they might know about something that is going down. How often do you think they're accurate?
Don't be so sensitive.
Another important story ignored by the traitorous MSM.
Cool.
Excellent story. Not finding their promised virgins will be a big disappointment to the scumbags.
OUTSTANDING!
Ok.
Great news..great shooting!
I will pass on asking if a sniper ambush meets any kind of "Global Test" and instead join in the drinking (at noon,or whenever) of a toast to these brave troops.
I'll second that! It sure beats the heck out of most of the bird cage liners here in the US. Check it out online sometimes. I only wish I could still get it delivered. Before the blogs it was my best intelligence on the story behind the story when the klintons were reigning.
