Someone had a very special hatred for this womam, who ever she is...

Just remember that that "someone" is a hero of the Michael Moore left in this country. "Someone" who they consider to be akin to our Minutemen. Iraqi "patriots" as they call them.

I don't know if they are just seriously deluded or if they are just whacked.

You can bet these drones make their lives a well-deserved hell, of course you can count on the slimes to focus on whatever pro-terrorist PR they can muster instead.

A head shot is entirely too easy and the terrorist dies instantly. Much more humane to wound them a few times. What red blooded soldier could resist firing a few 50 cal rounds? Don't think I have ever met any. If you or your brothers had killed one of my brothers, I would definately make you die painfully, while I watch.
I would assume they were not delivering fatal shots in order to collect a few more prisoners... more intel... more (I gotta say it).. panties on the head!

Love the caption on that pic. But, on another note, please tell me that your tag line is not an actual quote by Swayze....

"In the south of Fallujah yesterday, US Marines found the armless, legless body of a blonde woman, her throat slashed and her entrails cut out."

Kill every one of these soulless ba$$tards......every single one!!

There's lots of people make .50 caliber rifles.
I don't know if any of them make one to equal my Barrett, and the Marine Corps seems to agree.

May God continue to protect and bless our brave troops in Fallujah and elsewhere involved in the War on Terror.

"As the guerrillas run their last sprint from death, sympathy for their cause among Iraqis is rapidly running out."

Let's hope this guy knows what he's talking about.

Nah, probably not. Remember what Dirty Harry said, when asked how he knew a killer was going to kill again. "Cause he likes it."

"A group of 15 fighters dressed in black and carrying an array of weapons ducked into a two-storey house in war-torn southern Fallujah yesterday morning. Their movement was picked up by an unmanned spy plane that beamed back live footage to a control centre on the edge of the city. Within minutes, an airstrike was called and the house disappeared in a giant plume of grey smoke.

It's no wonder so many fear the U.S"

Sic semper tyrannus. I wish they had film of this to show on Al Jazeera.

"I believe that there is a fairly short barreled fifty cal.,"

Well, I guess it would depend on definition.
McMillan and Barrett make the most popular military versions of the .50 caliber, and both of them have a barrel length of 28" to 29" with a barrel twist of 1:15.

wasn't trying to infer that all brands are equal. some are cadillacs and some are not, but they still get you there...

Why can't we just get along? Because you guys are psycotic, head-cutting-off, irreligious, fools who would do anything for your cowardly now-nowhere-to be -seen leadership.I hate to say it but Allah is 0-1 this week and his prophet is doing even worse.

In Arab and Islamic culture, martial powress and honor are prized. There's no pity on the weak and the losers in their part of the world. The Americans' overwhelming firepower has shown Iraqis inclined to continue backing the terrorists that doing so will rain death and destruction down on their cities. Eventually, the rest of the volatile Sunni Triangle should calm down by the time the elections are held. As soon as a freely elected government is installed, we will be well on the way out of the country - as victors.
