Hundreds and hundreds actually. He heard. I keep hearing the words "deadly accuracy" when folks talk about Marines.

Did you notice the demand by that cleric in Fahjullah?

He demanded the withdrawl of the Marine snipers. It must be quite unerving to have the heads of your fellow jihadis continue to dissappear in a cloud of pink mist.

We practiced hitting a mans head at 300 yards when I was in the Corps (and we are talking plain sight, no scope, no sniper training).

If you read a few of the other stories posted today - I hear the enemy is crapping his pants afraid of Marine snipers.

God bless the one who climbed the Mosque Mineret for a better field of fire.

There was an article in the Sydney Morning Herald this morning, quoting an Iraqi man who said that all of the hundreds dead in Faluja were women, children and the elderly.

It's weird how our marines never seem to hit the people actually shooting at them.

The sheetheads "ain't seen nothin" yet..
The grunts have STILL not gone on the offensive...
They are still in force protection mode.....and position acquisition phase..

All Jihadists will have all the fighting and martyrdom they can stand..... When the Marine Corps decide it's time.

Semper Fi

New Iraqi Joke:

How can you tell if a Marine sniper is in the area?

Hand your AK-47 to the guy next to you and step away for a moment.

Bogus story IMO, from another thread.

You may have noticed one thing that is a lot different than Viet Nam. In Viet Nam our military was ordered to let the media go with the troops on missions. Our troops were to protect the media. The result was our troops protected our media so our media could paint our guys as killers. The media also showed any gory pictures they could get of our guys getting shot or killed.

This time our media is on its own. They are not liking it. They don't have the guts to go in with no military protection. So they are stuck with words and nothing but the milder pictures taken after areas are secured.

I think these fools thought the troops were going to be pulled out after the bodies were desecrated like in Somolia

I think they got a hell of a surprise with more on the way

Looters moved in to carry away goods from the truck as Iraqi police looked on.

Somehow I don't think Iraq is ready for self government.

It was posted as a FreeRepublic thread this morning. I'll try to find it.
