Snipers + IEDs = Snipers
Interesting piece at the Fourth Rail about how they are using sniper teams on insurgents as they deploy IEDs.
Also very interesting is the comments saying that a year ago, the soldiers weren't allowed to engage insurgents...
I don't know if this was big picture planning (wait until there were more Iraqi troops available), or the US trying to conduct a war with one hand tied behind our back, but I could see how the sniper teams would be very effective.
I wonder if this is the “big picture” reason for using just a few routes now? They're bait?
