**A US university in Wisconsin has blocked an attempt by Republican students to raise money for a group called “Adopt a Sniper”, that raises money for US sharpshooters in Iraq and Afghanistan. **
The students were selling bracelets bearing the motto “1 Shot 1 Kill No Remorse I Decide”.
“Clearly the rhetoric of that organisation raised some questions and we had some strong objections as a Jesuit university,” Marquette University school spokeswoman Brigid O’Brien said on Thursday.
The students, representing a group called College Republicans, originally got permission to set up a table at the student union to raise money for US troops in Iraq.
They chose to promote a group called Adopt a Sniper, which says on its website it supports snipers deployed by the United States armed forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The group says it “helps real snipers get the real gear they need to help keep us safe”.
**The brainchild of a Texas police SWAT officer, Adopt a Sniper has raised thousands of dollars in cash and gear to supplement the kit of sharpshooters in US combat platoons. **
UTD, a sniper does that for living. He can’t be sitting feeling sorry for what he does for living. And yes, one has to make a decision before taking a life. It implies that the sniper is deciding for himself whether to take a life or not. That’s all…. And trust me, the rest of the world can go and itself. It will always look to blame the US no matter what.
“As soon as the translator stood up to take the surrender we came under heavy and sustained automatic and sniper fire from three different directions.”
“Witnesses in the centre of the city have spoken of American snipers shooting at anyone who appeared on the streets.”
you think we went there to distribute Gulab Jamon in Baghadad? If the BBC guys came under sniper attack, who gave the account? they would be dead dogs before they will send the report back.
Why they need to raise money to adopt snipers. We already have Nation top 2 Snipers John Mohammad and John Malvo are in jails on taxpayers expenses. Why can’t we send them to Iraq to kill their Muslim brethren?
I understand there are plenty of fundraising options for Egyptian “snipers”.
What happened at Luxor?
A dozen planes are arriving in Britain packed with tourists evacuated from Egypt after Monday’s massacre.
Six British people were among the 58 holidaymakers murdered by Moslem fanatics. Among them were a five-year-old girl, her mother and grandmother.
There’s still no definitive account of what happened, but from eyewitness reports it appears as many as ten gunmen arrived at the Temple of Hatshepsut near Luxor in taxis.
After killing two security guards, one group approached the crowded temple steps and opened fire. This forced many of the tourists to flee into the temple complex, where they were trapped. A second terrorist group then turned to attack people arriving at the complex on buses.
obviously the closest you been to egypt is when you order foul and pitta at your local deli.
