CNN's showing of Insurgent sniper film, what we're up against, and that we'll win

Ok, now you've heard probably about CNN's airing of an insurgent's sniper video of killing an American GI in Iraq and showing the downed soldier on the ground. Personally I think this is despicable for CNN to do this (or as they are now called Caliphate News Network) by others.

But, we are winning this. See Sniper shot that took out an insurgent killer from three quarters of a mile about the American doing the right thing. But wait, there's more to the picture here.

Gazing through the telescopic sight of his M24 rifle, Staff Sgt Jim Gilliland, leader of Shadow sniper team, fixed his eye on the Iraqi insurgent who had just killed an American soldier.

His quarry stood nonchalantly in the fourth-floor bay window OF A HOSPITAL in battle-torn Ramadi, still clasping a long-barrelled Kalashnikov. Instinctively allowing for wind speed and bullet drop, Shadow's commander aimed 12 feet high.

A single shot hit the Iraqi in the chest and killed him instantly. It had been fired from a range of 1,250 metres, well beyond the capacity of the powerful Leupold sight, accurate to 1,000 metres.


You'll never hear of this story on the MSM such as CNN or CBS news. But then again, the real American Snipers need our help in getting things the government is less able to do. Of course, you can also get a feel for what these guys are up to here and todays capture of insurgents booty. Lastly, I've never heard of this site, Operation Iraqi Freedom , until today.

Keep on Brothers in Arms!!!
