Can't believe I haven't heard of this until today. Turns out, there was a spate of snipings in Baghdad in 2005-06 (and continuing since), which became such a plague on US troops there that a legend circulated about "Juba", as the Americans called him, the elusive Baghdad Sniper.
Whether it's one man or several, is unknown. The Americans claimed to have captured him on two seperate occasions, but these may have been staged to boost morale, or may indeed have been real captures, and there really were multiple snipers.
"Juba" is an obvious source of propaganda for the Iraqi resistance; as such, numerous "Juba" videos of his 'work' have been put out onto the web. Here's a link to one I could find (I warn you, it's disturbing viewing).
It goes to show how, in spite of all the hi-tech gear and training, a far superior occupying force can be made to feel vulnerable by a lone (skilled) marksman.

Undebunkable Chemtrails Video That The "Debunkers" Ignore...
...and yes, Chemtrails interfere with weather
(but why they are used, no-one fully knows...)
And You Tell Me There's No Suppressed Technology?
It's another of those 'conspiracy theories' that good citizens don't notice. Imagine the standard of living if all the secret technology was released to the public...we'd be "free and independent" as JFK said! No more poverty anywhere! Can you imagine being sick enough to withhold such technology from society just to maintain your position of control? (Bearing in mind that we don't know just how much technological capability is being withheld, because, duh, it's secret.) What did Nikola Tesla really develop?
Individual Liberty? But that's "selfish"!
No, we need to look after each other voluntarily without having a government do all that at gunpoint. Sounds absurd at first but soon you realise that the reason it sounds so is because of the very unfree nature of our current existence. Envision greater possibilities! Ok, some kind of massive wake-up would be needed before this kind of free, responsible, uncontrollable society could emerge. And that's what we are seeing day by day in the world - a massive waking up of the previously enslaved masses (including myself I must add!)
I'm Already Against The Next War
Stop the propaganda before it's here. If some kind of terror attack happens in the West, Iran probably didn't do it. They have no history of imperialism and would be suicidal to attack the West. Think who benefits. No bombing of Iran.

Never rely on military power alone; Thermopoly was a good example of this.
It's really too bad our boys have to put up with that while their commanders sip wine at Bilderberg.
Amen, Son.
