Who Are these Snipers Killing Marines In Iraq?

Suspect the Marines are wondering the same thing.  It has become a confusing state of affairs,  You have Sutr's militia [Shias'] replacing Americans in Sutr City. slum area of the Shias. Then you have Militia running about and it's not clear who they are.  almost always just referred to as terrorist and sometimes Chias.  My conclusion has been "It's a fiasco."

Im currently serving in Iraq with the army, and I truly believe it's not the american people worrying about the way he died. The american people are fine in knowing that the evil witch is dead. But the press is going to make it a big hype for the the next best story. The american press Sucks! I am in great dislike knowing the means that they go to, to get a story. I mean look at this marine ordeal, they have considered them all guilty before even a trial. When if you would do some research you would see the fact so far to them killing innocent people intentionally are discredited. My suggestion is quit worry about what these idiots care about and educate yourself on true facts. Go to www.boredsoldier.blogspot.com Thats a site my friend here in Iraq has started, hear your news from soldiers. Not a peanut gallery that knows only propaganda!

The liberal media will never be satisfied. They hate our country too much to care what happens to innocent Marines. They've already tried and hung them. They're not going to say I'm sorry and be all apologetic. They're going to bring up something else that they think is wrong with the military or the Bush Administration, and keep those Marines in jail even longer. They have such an intense hatred of anything Bush or anything that's right, that they couldn't imagine supporting the military. My brother's a Marine, in the same division. He knows the corpsman. The corpsman told Tim (my brother) that they weren't even close to the place where that incident happened. It's an outrage that someone could be so unAmerican.

George Bush should have the blame because if it weren't for his illegal and idiotic war that IS NOT for freedom those marines would not have been there to kill the innocent.\n\nBush should be put on trial for those murders just the same as they are trying Saddam Hussain for the same reason.

You are actually seeing how they will spin it right before your eyes. All the media and anti-war clan has done since these two brave soliders bodies were found is talk about the mutilation, beheading, DNA testing, unnatural barbaric torture, and how only pieces of them were found. It is an absolute disgrace the way this has been covered. Yes, we need to know the realities of war, yes we need to all know this happened but why doesn't the media try to tell us a little bit about these two solidiers and the way they lived their lives. Why not hear more about how they lived. I definately am NOT trying to take away from the deplorable way they died - its outrageous and they need justice but I can't help feeling their deaths have been exploited by the media. As for the way the anti american factions will handle this. The exact way we would expect them to. Justify it with saying that americans kill Iraqi's everyday. Does anyone really think Syria, Iran, UAE, Saudi Arabia cared one bit about the abuse Saddam doled out to his own people? Of course not. No one will ever change Anti American sentiment - what needs to be done is to make them irrelevant. I believe when people come forward and actually condone this type of behavior that people who have even a little bit of intelligience start to disregard them.

There have been several women killed in Iraq, the first was Pfc. Lori Piestewa.  I wouldn't call her a "girl" I would call her an American hero.

Longest confirmed kill during the Gulf War was with a Barrett Model 82A1 .50 sniper rifle at 1,800 meters.  Carlos Hathcock had a confirmed kill of 2,250 meters during Vietnam, but that was with a M2 Browning .50 machine gun upon which he had mounted a scope (the cyclic rate of the M2 is low enough to allow single shots).  Master Corporal Arron Perry of the Canadian Army using a McMillan TAC-50 rifle has the record at 2,430 meters during fighting in Afghanistan in 2003.\n\nEven with .50 weapons one shot, one kill at these kind of ranges have a bit of luck involved.

There was one and only one US Marine killed during Operation Just Cause (Panama Invasion). CPL Garreth C. Isaak, 2nd Marine Division, from Greenville SC. I don't recall his name being featured in Black Hawk Down, but I guess it is possible, though as one poster pointed out that would be a bit odd. (Why would a Marine's name from an invasion of Panama nearly a decade earlier be part of a movie about an Army Operation half a world away?). P.S. If you know why this was done - please e-mail me, I am very curious. Sounds like one of those great pieces of trivia I can unload on my friends - :-)

They won't stop. They feel it furthers their cause when they kill the infidels, as the american soldiers are called. The people in Iraq killing soldiers are theones who were loyal to Saddam and the ones who have an extreme hatred for the USA. The ones who are loyal to Saddam want things to go back to way they were when they had free run of the country and Saddam was lining their pockets with millions of dollars, the ones who hate the USA are coming in from other countries and fighting because they feel we are against muslims. Funny how we have muslims in the US who are free to practice their religion freely and peacefully. No matter what may happen there will always be people who practice their religion to the extreme edges of what is written.

Iraqis are killing each other.  The only thing President Bush is guilty of is trying to keep us safe on our own soil.  All is fair in love and war.  It's a war and I should know---my husband is deployed there.

If you didn't hear it, you weren't listening.\n\nIf you are interested, you can do a search on Yahoo or Google news for "beltway snipers" and then on their names for more published information.\n\nIf you are REALLY interested, you can request publicly available information from the government.

if you read some more news (not edited for content by liberals) you will see plenty of U.S. civilians and troops tortured, killed, their bodies drug through the streets by the good and noble people of Iraq. I was there I know what really went on, and the liberal newsreports don't want the public to know the truth.\n\njust check with al jazeera and see who has been kidnapped and is awaiting death. Also check and see how many were killed, their heads sawed off with a dull sword, for the glory of allah.\n\nsome soldiers have done unspeakable things and are being punished for it. but who is being held accountable for the kidnappings, torturing and killing of journalists and aid workers?????
