This dates back to CPA days when Sadr's gang staged an uprising. The location for this video is CPA Najaf, the building is defended by 11 BW guys, a sniper and several marines. Little birds fly in ammo and F-18's provide air support.

To me this video looks like they are shooting at nothing  ??? It must be the camera because you cant get a clear picture on the target.

My guess is that it was safer to video the sniper than for the camerman to look down range.

I guess that would be the difference between real life and Hollywood.

Listening to the chatter between them, gave the image that there were a lot of targets. Didn't see any in the few camera angles that were facing away from the building. Just my observations.

I've seen this video several times, although it was always labeled as the Blackwater.

The "11 BW Guys"  = 11 Black Water guys..
