"He has killed from 200 meters away."
Hardly a difficult distance to kill from. Most Marines can hit a plate size target 4/5 times with an unbraced weapon while standing from that distance.

"Juba" has become more legend then reality - Additionally it was speculated that the sniper that was originally given the signature "Juba" was actually captured last year -

It is war. The odds are that any insurgent Iraqi sniper will eventually take one in the head.
On the good side, I think the sniper ledger is extraordinarily lopsided in our favor. Most of these news people, and/or Iraqis have no idea what our sniper forces do, or how they are deployed.
Of course, I would rather the score be lopsided a gazillion to nothing in our favor, but they are shooting at us.

Prayer ping to trussell.
Quote: "'Juba' is the nickname applied to that sniper by the U.S. military in Iraq. He is alleged to be an accurate sniper, having killed and wounded up to several dozen U.S. soldiers."
We need to pray that the Lord God Almighty lead our troops to take this terrorist out and save the lives of our soldiers.
Praying:
"Lord God, Whose servant prayed:
Blessed be the LORD my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight: My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me. -- Psalm 144:1-2
and:
He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. -- Psalm 18:34
...move our soldiers to take this killer out. Make him make a mistake, make him stupid, put blinders on his eyes, and put his face in our sights. Then be with the American soldier who gets him, comforting him with the knowledge that he saved lives in doing so. In the Name of Jesus our King, Amen!"
