FALLUJAH, Iraq - Taking a short breather Friday, the 21-year-old Marine corporal explained what it was like to practice his lethal skill in the battle for this city.
"It's a sniper's dream," he said. "You can go anywhere, and there are so many ways to fire at the enemy without him knowing where you are."
The role of snipers has become a significant tactic for Marines in this "Sunni Triangle" city. Marine experts say Fallujah is among the most "target-rich" battlefields for snipers since the World War II battle for Stalingrad, during which German and Russian snipers dueled for months.
In negotiations aimed at ending the standoff in the city, the insurgents have demanded that the Marines pull back their snipers.
A shaky truce exists between the Marines who surround the city and the fighters within the circle.
But the cease-fire allows the Marines to carry out defensive operations within the city, which, among other things, they define as allowing fire on insurgents who display weapons, break the curfew or move their forces toward U.S. troops.

And how exactly have the killers come to be in a position to demand anything?
Well frankly Mr. Hun I have found most of your comments and diatribe quite offensive. Your attacks on Polybius and his profession were quite uncalled for.
Your apparent view of American soldiers is deplorable. Their honor and dedication for the work they do, as difficult and gut wrenching as it is, is obviously beyond your comprehension. The freedom they hold so dear is obviously lost on you. It would appear that the sacrifice that is all to often required for freedom to continue is something that would be too great for you. You strike me as one that would cower and wait for someone (a soldier?) to come save you. Your behavior, and your words here, are shameful.
Now that's funny.
At last reports, Red Crescent ambulances seen headed towards some dead sandmaggots stopped, picked up the weapons and left the bodies to rot.
So, no; that tactic won't work.
Or what, exactly? You'll come charging through our killzones full speed and standing tall? I'd love to see it. More likely you'll just strap more plastique to your toddlers, but you were going to be doing that anyway.
I'm liking this story even more than I do the ones about the Spectre gunships.
Try it on the other sandmaggots. Preferably in person. Please.
A moralizing kraut? How quaint! You may consider us barbarians, by all means, as soon as we order the first set of ovens from who was it again? Siemens? Krups? Help me out here
Great point but deflecting attention to the Poles is a big mistake, Fritz.
It just confirms that the German Superman didn't have the balls to accept clear responsibility for his inhumanity.
Have a nice evening. This last bit of reaching is too much to stomach even from an inconsenquential ex-superman.

Prairie dogs, I bet that's quite a challege. Probably get good at adjusting for wind.
Since I got on the PD years later now I get to lock them up hahahaha.
