This kind of thing really could happen more often. Military uniforms are available on the internet. M16/M4 knockoffs aren't hard to come by. Learning a few key phrases in English can be done to perfection in a few days of practice. The only expensive part of the plan would be obtaining the right vehicles, and even that's very possible when you have Iranian or Saudi money in your pocket. As for the inside knowledge, well, Iraqis are in pretty tight with us these days. Just because they work with us doesn't mean they like us.
Our enemies aren't stupid. All they need is are resources, a little time and little luck to pull off hits like this.

Our enemies aren't stupid. They certainly aren't.
But under the old ROE we often were. Hopefully, these have changed to permit taking all these bastards down, hard! If we don't, we'll sadly regret it.
... and we shouldn't limit ourselves to operating inside the Iraqi borders, either.

Didn't the Nazis do this or attempt to do this during WWII?
