Even though roadside bombs have killed many troops in Iraq, in the back of many soldiers' minds is another fear: death by insurgent sniper. The sniper is known as "Juba" and may be on his or her way to becoming a legend.
Rory Carroll, a reporter for the British newspaper "The Guardian," and Jack Coughlin, a retired Marine sniper, provide their distinct views on "Juba" the sniper.

Oh Lordy! Don't shoot Juba. It appears he is the only mooselimb who may have potential as a marksman.

I think he died a few years ago. The other high scoring sniper from Vietnam is still living, though...can't think of his name at the moment.

I was just reading about this guy Juba yesterday. Someone sent me a link to a video compilation of his attacks that the islamofascists are putting out as propaganda.
Watching the video fills me with the same rage I felt after watching the Nick Berg tape. It makes me hate these savages all the more, and I hope they all burn in hell after they finally get what's coming to them.
WARNING! DISTURBING AND GRAPHIC!

The Marines still have the best hunters in the woods. Juba will be toast if he doesn't retire or move.
I hope the next sound Juba doesn't hear is the sound of the .50 cal bullet leaving the barrel of the Barrett M82A1.

Juba will be toast if he doesn't retire or move.The odds are certainly against him. My guess is that as his AO shrinks, he is going to be more vulnerable as he moves around. There are too many eyes available.

Juba is not Likely to be Iraqi.
He also supprts tyranny for all, including mussies.

What is the US doing? Bombing hospitals, schools and homes, killing and maiming countless innocent civilians! I thought that was al qaeda's job.
Oh, and by the way...

They've given the British and the Russians their hand's full. Kill the rotten muzzie bastard, kill him dead.
