If so called snipers can stop aid to the innocent in the USA, then why
don't they stop us moving around Iraq? <> Give me some pictures of snipers or else its more Bushit stories. I won't believe this has happened until it's proven.

1. Seems as if the snipers were SWAT
They were defending cars from "theft" in the higher-class areas of town.

3. They do
well known fact in military science, a sniper can hold off a column, and it requires either coutner sniper or in the case of Iraq other fire power

I will ask the stupidly obvoous question, have you ever been under fire? No TV watchnig does not count here, or Role Playing Games, I mean the REAL DEAL.

6. No real fire, and I mean no dis-respect but it seems unconscionable
that people would shoot at aid workers be it police or in the air.

trust me it is disconcerting the first time, but they do....

Want to know the sick joke aout the Red Cross? Nice target acquitions device.

I wore bullet proof for seven of ten years, and for god sakes I was working in an honest to goodness Red Cross (yes that nice target on the side) ambulance... so I am not shocked they shat at Acadia today... difference is, I had the training they don't, and I had the vest, they don't

5. Link to story re police are resigning due to being fired upon by looters
11:29 P.M. - (AP): Col. Henry Whitehorn, chief of the Louisiana State Police, said he heard of numerous instances of New Orleans police officers - many of whom from flooded areas - turning in their badges.

"They indicated that they had lost everything and didn't feel that it was worth them going back to take fire from looters and losing their lives," Whitehorn said.

7. I don't know if there's snipers or not.
Snipers aren't stopping aid from getting to other cities. Yet those places aren't getting aid, either. The government is hiding behind snipers in NO and hoping you don't notice all those other places. DON'T BUY THE LIE! They simply have no idea what they are doing or they simply want people to die. Nothing else fits the facts.
