#2 A mere three bullets used and how many lives saved today?

I wonder when the average Iraqi will gain even a remote appreciation for what we go through to protect them. Maybe we need to take a two week "holiday" (all troops confined to quarters) and let Iraq see just how much mayhem al Qaeda would shower upon them.

#4 Did you note that part of the intel was from listening devices in the not-safe house?
What's the story with that?
I ask rhetorically, since putting the facts out would be a bad idea.

#5 The .338 Lapua round is the best sniper round ever invented. Power and ballistics-wise, its as close to perfection as huamns can get.
