Nelson?
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
Yea, it's them all right! More on them:

Nice! Really nice!
This story points out something I think we're (that is, the military brass) might be missing. The insurgents have enjoyed quite a bit of success engaging in guerilla warfare, what with their IEDs and all.
Now comes along a situation where our guys get to play that game in their face, and it's great!
Why don't we start adopting the same tactics? Obviously the status quo isn't working, at least not as planned. Why not pull some urban warfare tricks of our own? Why aren't we planting a 1000 lb bomb under the street and waiting for Mohammed Al Kilu to drive by? Why not start our own alternative to Al Jazerra, and show the Ka-Boom of our own IEDs on it? Why not engage in more 'sucker punch' tricks like the one above?
If the insurgents don't want to fight a stand-up battle, we'll need to adapt, right?
Reach out, reach out and grease someone.
LOL
I am so proud of our military. I get to teach them near a Marine base. Many are on their way to Iraq, so this is very personal for me. I give them cigars (past and present military).
what Studs!
God bless them all.
God save our enemies from their evil cult
That is actually a great idea. Let the troops fall back and watch. The only downside would be so many of our troops patrol areas like Ramadi, Biap, and Fallujah. We actually ward off the insurgents and keep them in check by showing our faces. They see .50 cals mounted on gun ships and they certainly become uncomfortable. Weeding out terrorists is a long process. Another downside is the enemy is not marked. It could be anyone. Man. Woman. Child. Everywhere you go there are cameras. Why the military lets reporters follow them around is beyond me. That is all politics I suppose. The troops are not being allowed to do their job. Stand and fight. That is what we need to do. It is a war. The Dems and Republicans need to just let them do their job. Civilians in America do their job. Men and women in uniform sworn to protect ouor country from enemies foreign and domesic, do theirs. My question is, when will the cut and run liberals let us protect the world from these islamo fascist scum bags? We can get the job done. Just let the corp and the soldiers do what they are trained to do. That's serve and protect at all costs. Even a few dead civilians.
I am waiting for some lib govt official to come out and say that this kind of war operaion is unfair to the insurgants. What if thew weren't the bad guys, or why didn't we detain them instead of killing them this is a cowardly barbaic way for our guys to act. (sarc OFF)
I say shoot first and shoot again just for the heck of it. No questions need be asked...
Sweet. PING.
I would like to know who makes this sniper rifle and where did it come from. We all know the "mideasteners" don't know how to manufacture anything except suicide vests and IEDs.
I suppose it's a Dragonuv SVD. Or rather a Iraqi knock-off called a Al Kadesiah that is a hybrid between the Romanian PSL and the Russian SVD.

I would have given a testicle to be the guy that walked up behind the terrorist on the other end and shot him in the head.
I just thought about that and decided at 51 I WOULD do that to be the one to plug the Islamonazi
That's quite a site. Thanks for the info.

Good entertainment of the day ping!
