Just Terrorists getting killed this weekend in Iraq -- so far
News on Iraq -- various | January 15, 2005 | Vanity

Posted on 01/15/2005 7:28:59 PM PST by topher

About the only thing happening in Iraq that I have seen recently is two occasions that snipers have taken out 7 terrorists each. One was by the 1st Calvary Division -- the other by an Arkansas National Guard Unit.

I am praying that our troops have found cozy sniper positions throughout Iraq and Predators aircraftare flying 24 hours a day -- looking for terrorists.

The elections are coming up shortly -- yet the terrorists seem to be very impotent. Another factor appears to be the God factor -- the tsunami has shown that the US Military is going above and beyond to help Islamic victims of the disaster. This may be aiding the United States at a critical time in Iraq.

Perhaps there was a INTEL bonanza when a terrorist cell was broken up -- with lots of materials for car bombings -- C4, artillery shells for roadside bombs, etc.

Of course, the above news is not news to the Moronic Stream Media [or is it the Main Stream Morons -- I get confused].

Our troops are very frustrated with the L/MSM and I don't blame them.

Maybe there should be a National Campaign to Bash the Media -- in support of our troops.

We should have just severly wounded all 7 and watched to see where they craweled off to hide.

I like the way you think. But if they were hit with that .50 cal puppy in post #3, I doubt the terrorist would survive long enough to be of any use :)

nothing like an M40 or .50 caliber to spoil one's day

got that right......the top one is an M40 so the 7.62 would maybe wound....the bottom .50 caliber....you could hit 'em anywhere and basically blow off a limb or tear up an artery...

I heard a Vietnam Vet say that if you were hit with a .50 cal you were either dead or dying--I believe it!

Oh, no. You're wrong. At least one soldier of ours had an Iraqi sand-spider crawl in with him this weekend.

Posted earlier on F/R was the fact that personal vehicles will not be allowed on the road in Iraq on January 30th.. this will reduce the car bomb factor.

Albert King played it, so did Cream, but Booker T. Jones (Booker T. and The MG's) and William Bell wrote it

And they should shoot to kill. We were the ones playing around.
