Reminds me of the movie, Enemy at the gates when the Russian snipers would cut telephone lines and pick off the Germans who came to fix them.

Great idea. When I hear these things I’m encouraged.

JAGs trying to make a splash or trying to prove their relevance (In this WOT) are without question hurting our efforts -

What fool was stupid enough to publish our tactics? The cat’s out of the bag on this one now, but please don’t publish any more of tactics that keep our guys alive and the enemy dead.

Sounds like a problem to me. How do know that the suspect intended to use the items at all, or against Coalition forces?

My first thought was of the movie Jurassic Park.

A goat chained up to attract T. Rex.

Of course the insurgents would be thinking of something other than food.
LOL

After all, one of those Iraqis might have just been picking up the det cord and caps to turn in for some Lakers tickets
or new sneakers...

I’m not sure what the problem is here. There’s nothing new about using bait to lure rats and vermin into traps so they can be eliminated. Is someone complaining about the mess or something?

Snipers are not going to indescriminately kill anyone who goes near the drop box. They often know who the bad guys are, this is just a way to flush them out from under their rocks. I am all for it.

People want us to succeed (unless you are a democrat) but apparently don’t want to let us do what is needed. Civilians have no business whatsoever telling the military how to conduct operations in theatre. NONE.

In a country that is awash in armaments and magazines and implements of war, if every time somebody picked up something that was potentially useful as a weapon, you might as well ask every Iraqi to walk around with a target on his back,"

Which is why professional soldiers aren't going to waste their energy and ammunition on such a crude method. This article is pure disinformation.

If we could just get the snipe on some dollar bills sprinkled artfully around Washington DC. Maybe along the steps of the Capitol Bldg. Heh, heh.

Well, then, how about a goat infected with AIDS?

..and then killing those who pick them up...

This would explain the preponderance of ass-shots.
