| Army snipers hunt bomb planters in Sabari |
| 2011-09-09 |
| Good piece by Bill Ardolino "[The local elders had the] same reaction they've had the other four times we've killed guys - they do their best 'disbelief' impression," And their buddy is doing is best 'Osama' impression. One of the insurgents killed on Aug. 20 turned out to be a popular local mullah from another village a few kilometers up the road. All three dead insurgents are suspected to have been part of the same roadside bomb cell. The Americans had closed the blind spot in their reconnaissance assets. |

| #2 With such a huge increase in recruitment, raw talent combined with, shall we say, extensive experience, and top notch equipment, you're going to have a lethal legion of individual killers of astounding capability. Still no .338 rifles. |

| #1 I truly wonder what US military sniper assets are at this point. With such a huge increase in recruitment, raw talent combined with, shall we say, extensive experience, and top notch equipment, you're going to have a lethal legion of individual killers of astounding capability. Think of it in terms of conventional forces. A single sniper can prevent a major military movement or even a garrison, if he has complex terrain. This was why major US bases in Iraq had to have a 5 mile deep KZ surrounding them. Granted, that worked, but it is rare when anyone has that luxury. |
