The idea is to make the enemy worry themselves to death about having a bullet in the back of their head. Basra should fall shortly, one of the shortest sieges in modern warfare.

I suspect Baghdad will become sniper central once we surround it. We can beat them without doing the house to house search.

I suspect this is how the US will operate in Bagdad. Marine snipers will create a very uncomfortable enviroment for the irregulars.

British snipers kill four Iraqis amid the rubble of Basra
You just know there are some poor Canadian snipers (PPCLI) who are spitting mad
because their government officials have kept them out of this...

I'd love to see the reaction on the fedeyeen's faces, learning after years of terrorizing civilians that they are no longer the hunter, but the hunted.

The weapon they use is a British-made L96A1 rifle, which has a "first round kill" range of 900 yards. It can deliver "harassing" fire, but is powerful enough to scatter an enemy but not to kill over a further 200 yards.Not to kill over a further 200 yards? What the heck does that mean? Anyone know what this guy is talking about?

Pray tell. Where is the obligatory 'sad, dejected' photo of Tommy Daschle that is supposed to accompany such 'gloomy news' as this?
