Any Canadian snipers in Iraq? Sounds like we could use their help.

Until we feel the need to kick your ass and take it.

Since Canada has about 1/100th the military might of the United States, I'm really not that concerned about Bob & Doug McKenzie coming down here to burn up the White House.

As long as someone burned down your house, it'd be worth it

They shipped Celine Dion and Jim Carrey down here. They've already won.

Given no assumption of his religious motivations, I'd say this is an outstanding individual. However he is mostlikely a Muslim. Interesting nonetheless

outstanding individual?

Do you mean he's a good sniper or are you approving of his actions?

aims for gaps in their body armour, the lower spine, ribs or above the chest


"It was the perfect shot," the battalion commander, Lt Col Kevin Farrell, said of one incident. "Blew out the spine.



Shit all I know that is some serious fucking skill even if it is an insurgent sniper at 200 meters thats crazy shit.

Oh and fuck the canadians brits also train 1st or 2nd best snipers in the world.

I'm approving of his actions.

Actually, if he's real, I do too. I have a lot of respect for him. He's alone in his occupied country, using the most effective weapon on the battlefield to defend what he believes in.

Yeah. If the brits are #1 the canadians are #2. Or vice versa. Either way.

We're good? I suppose when you only have a hundred or so guys in the army you can really train 'em well. :P

I'm curious... this guy is shooting from 200 meters?

That's 218 yards... The average marine learns to shoot effectively at 500 yards without a scope, and this Juba is considered skilledl?

The Marine snipers can do headshots all day long at 800 yards.

200 meters is for fucking kids. That article sounds like bullshit and even if it's half true this guy is a hack.

Its from a huge anti US, whacko left wing liberal rag, Ralf. Take it with a complete grain of salt.

The title is complete propaganda, just like The Guardian is. Nobody of any intelligence takes most of their articles at more than face value. It's the National Enquirer of the news scene and rubbish even by Brit and Canadian standards.

Well, they did ship down Shania Twain... not that her music is worth anything - but she is HOT.
