"those psycho's are all sporting 7.62's especially this guy. (7.62x54R)Hope he's a bad shot."
Notice that he's squinting one eye closed. The whole purpose of a red dot scope is to allow you to keep both eyes open while shooting.
Basically, you are looking at amatuers amongst our enemies. Their mobility is severely compromised, for one thing, because none of them are carrying rations. That limits most of them to within walking distance of their home...which can be an inconvenient place to have to go back to for 3 meals a day. Eat less and you become less effective as a fighter, too.
Nor do any of them seem to have much ammo on hand. That pretty well limits them to being mere cannon fodder.
But these are precisely the types of hotheads who we need to be killing and capturing in order to pacify and stabilize Iraq. The sooner that these amatuers are dealt with, the better.

That's a PSO-1 4-power telescopic sight on the Iraqi SVD copy, not a red dot sight, the most common of which is usually seen atop a Kalishnikov's rail mount is the Russian Kobra, a very effective unit.
The bad news is that the autoelevating reticle of the PSO-1 is ballistically matched to the trajectory of the 7,62x54r bullet's path and pretty well eliminates the necessity of expertise at range estimation or holdover by the user. The PSO-1 is fast and effective, particularly out to 600-750 meters. Though the reticle is *busy,* it's effective. And the cartridge is approximately the equal of the old U.S. .30-06, much more effective than the shorter AK47 ammunition.
