Enemy at the Gates...Juba the Sniper

In a story that was just about inevitable, an Iraqi sniper of similar stature to Vassili Zaitsev, the central character of the docu-drama Enemy at the Gates. It also points up the fact that as far as the Iraqi's are concerned, the US gvernment IS identical to the German Army that invaded the Soviet Union, both physically and philosophically.

The Iraqi's aren't my enemy, nor the enemy of any thinking American; the US government is rightly seen as their enemy.

Wouldn't it become interesting if, in some future year, all the enemies of the US government began targeting only federal buildings and property; while being careful not to have collateral damage of any kind?

Juba has been doing his thing since 03.

He's probably a Chechen Muslim.

As far as the rest, i am quite certain you know even less about sniping than you do about videos of military ambushes and the tactics to counter them.

Guys, does this guy have an off switch?

PS: Juba is no Zaitsev, not even on his best day. Oh, and enemy at the gates was a TERRIBLE movie. About as realistic as your military commentary.

So at what point did you progress from simply spewing ignorant paranoia, to actively disseminating seditious enemy propoganda?

The only thing you know about war is that you've never been in one.

PS, those claims of military service you make....i call BS, right here and now.

But sewing the seeds of dissention among the ranks by leveling utterly ridiculous charges of warcrimes being exectuted on a systematic basis by highly trained and commited US troops is a sound personal philosophy?

Lookie here little fake soldier man, when you speak on these issues you merely make yourself look to be a moron of the first order. You should really stop, for your own benefit, and for the benefit of the American people.

Of course you won't...so we'll just continue to point our fingers and laugh at the crazy man in the corner talking to himself.

<--------------- Pointing at pat(the 5th column enemy within) and LOLOLOLOLing.

You really don't want to continue down this path, you'll only look a worse fool than you already do.

I don't make threats, ever.

I will allow someone to make themselves whatever they wish, you'd be surprised at how hard some work at being foolish.

I'm on your list because you've a marked shortage of testicular fortitude, and for no other reason.

Pat, i wish to continue down this path.

Tell us all about your military service.

We all want to hear about it. Perhaps it will help us to understand why you hate your own country so much.

I don't mind looking like a 'fool'.

I have the "testicular fortitude"(FYI cuz: It's intenstinal fortitude) to handle it.

Thanx.

No. It's quite irrelevant to this discussion or forum. You want something you can't have, too bad.

You're just one more that's confusing America with the US government. The US government has never been America, isn't America now, and will never be America in the future.

I'm sure you're trying to make yourself feel good by some kind of sacrifice you've made for America, only find that your sacrifice was to the government and did America no good at all.

If you've not found that out, do some more research.

Again, I have to second sniper here!

I too would like to hear your service history (oooh 3 rows of salad I am NOT impressed). From your picture "Captain-Hines" looks like a whole bunch of "desk-ribbons" to me! What did you do.... Sign all the death certificates yourself?!?

Please do tell!

You won't tell us about it cause there is nothing to tell, cause you probably have no military service at all to speak about.
That's probably not you.

Cause real soldiers are not evasive about their basic military background, because there is simply no reason to be.

Hmmm, to this day i can still hear the cries of "Gracias American soldier! Gracias!" for my 'sacrifice'(i came back, its the guys that don't that make a sacrifice).

So yeah, i feel pretty good about what i did when i was called upon to serve. Sorry you weren't there with us, you might not hate your own country so much if you were....

It should, they've suceeded on a limited basis in making the issue my personal military record, and that's too bad.

It's not about that at all, it's about the sociofascist Bush'ist regime's invasion of Iraq, and the Iraqi Freedom Fighters dedicated defense of their homeland.

One would hope that these sunshine patriots would do the same, somehow I doubt it.
