#1 US Specops info are very very tightly controlled - as former Army SpecWar myself I doubt the Islamists would have such info unless they got it from a foreign source(s).

#2 Sinpers? I guess they have never heard of counter snipers. I doubt they would ever get a shot off. They are that good.

#3 US Special Forces think they're the best in the world? As Walter Brennan's TV character Will Sonnet used to say "No brag, just fact."

#5 fastest guns in the west.

I have this image main street at high noon. The man with a yellow star, hand above his gun....just waiting for the man in black hat to flinch one tiny little muscle.

A shift in targeting priorities doesn't correlate with the ability to actually hit the target.

#7 I doubt the "insurgents" have the skill to do real sniping. However, remember that US sniper teams can pick their asses off at nearly a mile away. The "insurgents" could most likely only do any damage at 200-300 meters.

#8 Islamic nutjobs produce few snipers because they tend to like the hip-shot method of firing. You look cool even if you don't hit anything.
