Who takes these pictures? I hope it's not a western journalist. They just stand by and take pictures of men trying to kill our soldiers.

That photo is clearly staged. The mortar has no aiming mechanism.
Al-Jazerra obviously! (we need to start planting explosives into their cameras.... ready... roll tape... *BOOM*!!!)

I wouldn't be too worried about this mortar attack. It can't be very accurate with the old MK1mod0 Hadji T&E (the dumba$$ holding the tube instead of a real aiming mechanism) to direct fire downrange. There's also the machinegunner standing there shooting from the hip with his "A" gunner holding the ammo belt at an angle that will probably jam the gun.
These idiots won't last long. Our Marines will ground them, and fast.
it probably is western journalists, that is their job after all. besides, they are not in a position to do much of anything about it. if it was me taking the pictures, i would be afraid that these morons would shoot their mortar rounds at me.
besides, IF they are sharing pics with the military, these could prove useful -- to help identify the dead if nothing else. (smile)
