Terrs whacked in Iraq

CAMP BLUE DIAMOND, AR RAMADI, Iraq – Coalition Forces killed terrorists in Ramadi Oct. 27 while conducting a cordon and search operation at the Malaab Soccer Stadium in the eastern part of the city.
Nah...they were simply there to Bend it like Beckham...poor blokes.
At approximately 11:00 a.m. a sniper team that was conducting security for the operation observed a military age male surveying the stadium with binoculars shortly after Coalition Forces were attacked with a rocket propelled grenade.
The dude was looking for chicks...or sheep.
Did he mistake the Marines for elks?
The sniper team determined hostile intent and engaged the terrorist with one round, resulting in the death of the insurgent.
Sniper team also determined infinite stupiditiy. Enter: 1 50 cal terrorist's head. Stupidity will no longer be a problem for terrorist now rotting in Hell.
At approximately 11:30 a.m., Coalition Forces were attacked with small arms fire from multiple positions on rooftops surrounding the stadium. Coalition Forces returned fire, but were not able to confirm damage to the enemy. At 11:45 a.m., a sniper team at the stadium observed two insurgents armed with AK-47s southwest of their location moving into position on the roof of a building.
Carlos Hathcock is smiling right now...may his Soul rest in peace.
The sniper team engaged the terrorists and were able to confirm both enemy killed in action.
Splash two cockroaches.
No Coalition Forces were injured in today’s attacks.
Score: Marines 3. Islamo-cockroachers 0.
None of our boys injured while they did their jobs -- best news of all.
The cordon and search resulted in the seizure of 30 lbs. of plastic explosives, typically found to be used in Improvised Explosive Devices and vehicle car bombs. The contents of the cache will be destroyed.
Semper Fi, brothers!

#6  Being a Marine sniper team, they probably used the 7.62mm M-14 DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle). Custom built by Marines for Marines. God love 'em.

#5  I'd bet it was a .308 rather than a .50, but what the hey, a dead jihadi is a dead jihadi!

Good shootin' boys!

#3  Great story. Should not this be a movie-outline and not the Clooney-Penn millionaire traiterous propaganda that oozes out of our media. I admire and support you; the best of the best, our soldiers. Most important, our leaders should cut you loose and use our force to protect our soldiers. We need them. World opinion is worth nothing if bought with soldiers blood.
