I shit you not, for the first few months of the occupation, a sniper hid out inside of the space between one of the the palms and the sword (the victory arch sniper) and used to shoot at everyone going by- I don't know why it took them so long to register that, first damn thing I would of noticed terrain wise as a possible location.... they thought it was coming from a more traditional and less obvious sniper position.... bunch of idiots in my opinion, but then again, anyone who thinks differently from doctrine is a idiot themselves, so whatever.
Saddam's snipers always had a flair for the theatrical (one case I still can't talk about, never heard on the news of him being caught, should be on the Daily Show someday as a clip)
