Shouldn't someone else have the rifle to get a shot off at the Iraqi that shoots that helmet?

They probably have him in a hidden position. Afterall, it wouldn't make much sense to draw attention to the position of your sniper.
Devolution is quite as natural as evolution, and may be just as pleasing, or even a good deal more pleasing, to God. If the average man is made in God's image, then a man such as Beethoven or Aristotle is plainly superior to God, and so God may be jealous of him, and eager to see his superiority perish with his bodily frame.

That makes sense, but the guy holding it is also a sniper (if thats his rifle). Maybe he lost a bet. Sucks to be him if an Iraqi just fired an RPG.

He's raising the helmet so that an enemy sniper might think that it's some guy. When they shoot at him their position will be exposed.

Snipers almost always work in pairs in modern militaries and trade off the jobs of shooter and spotter, or in this case, shooter and decoy holder.

That was on page one of the local newspaper today. Apparently it was shot near a shrine being used as a stronghold by militia.
