That's a good days work.

#3 Why didn't someone get a VIDEO or PICTURE of the brave Lions of Islam cowering behind children?

This should be on the cover of every newspaper.

But then, as I recall, the Lions of Islam did much the same thing in the Philippines a few years ago AND THERE WERE ACTUAL PICTURES of them walking out of a church surrounded by children - but the MSM refused to carry the story.

#4 Using M40A3s, I imagine they targeted center of gravity. Judging from the photo, I would estimate 500-750m. Good job.

I could use one of those the next time I go elk hunting. Unfortunately, my 30-06 doesn't do much beyond 400m range. Not a killing shot, anyway.

#7 when I first saw this headline I thought it was about Jack Murtha...and I thought to myself: "That bastard will do ANYTHING to get re-elected"

Never mind.
