"God is Great"
Check out this video from The Army Times. It seems that the snipers didn't count on American body armor when they planned this stunt. (Also, notice what the snipers are saying as they fire.)
God bless our body armor manufacturers!

And most importantly, after he survives the attack, the medic goes back and treats the sniper. I know I wouldn't have been as forgiving. Real "Nazi" that medic.
Maybe he made the sniper wear panties on his head before he treated him.

That's right, after trying to kill our guy, we capture them and provide medical assistance! Will the MSM, Ted Kennedy and all the Gitmo bashers comment on this? We are at war for our lives and we have to fight the enemy and the looney left at the same time!

All this proves is that we are on the side of the angels.

Maybe they saved him to torture him to get more information that would save US lives.

"Maybe they saved him to torture him to get more information that would save US lives."
One can only HOPE!

From your mouth to God's ears, Mariana!
P.S., you were kidding, right?

LOL Craig.

SOP is to capture wounded and demoralized enemy to obtain information, through whatever means. The medic and his cover did great work, as well as the body armor. That show the greatness of the men and women serving in Iraq and elsewhere, whom the MSM and Ted Kennedy routinely paint as soulless assassins morally equal to the Nazis or the Red Army. This video is also a great psych-op tool, because it puts an aura of invincibility and generosity in the American soldier and the enemy and the local population have to be fed images like this with a good Arabic script. That is the silk glove on the iron fist. The iron fist needs to be clenched a bit tougher and pumped and cocked many more times on the enemy.

Of course, the best part of the video is that it was shot by the mf..ng terrorist. The video should be issued complete with credit to the "author" and a segment in which the author praises Allah for having saved his life through the hands of this soldier who didn't deserve to die. That's easy to do. I am sure that the Pentagon has produce enough material for psych-ops and propaganda, but another one never hurts!

Rat f*ck pieces of sh*t scum recroding killing people... fifty bucks that was supposed to go to a newsman in Baghdad hanging out at the hotel bar waiting for a "scoop" on how the body armor isn't working. See the setup? Guy in armor, by a Humvee.. our soldiers aren't equipped well enough! Story at 11! Rumsfeld the spawn of Satan!

Well, at least now they can stop whining about substandard body armor. I especially loved the "ping" the bullet made as it bounced off the plate. Also, I couldn't help but wonder how great the sniper though Allah was after he got caught and his victim was unhurt? He was right in a way; God is great, but He's not on their side.

George, I was sort of kidding, but I was also thinking that it might be a good idea! And I'm not talking about just flushing his Koran down the toilet. Sorry, if I sound a bit blood-thirsty, but I'm for whatever it takes to defeat them. And forgive me, I don't see that "winning the hearts and minds" of the enemy will be perceived as anything other than weakness by them. But I'll shut up now.

Mariana, I couldn't agree with you more. I don't know who said it, but there was a variant of the "hearts and minds" quote that goes: "when you have them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow."
