very good films about military actions in Fallujah

www.fallujah.us...

especially this long one - 143 mb is interesting.

well i watched the video, it was kinda sad. i noticed thing paculiar however the man on the ground with the leg wound seemed to have writen a 72 on his hand out of his own blood. gee i wonder what that means. anywho the man who made a run for it got blasted real good. these occurances seem exciting when you think the prospects of war when you actually watch the battles its pretty f'd up.

This is some information on the bus video from the Tracking Terrorism site:

This footage was shot on the morning of April 9th, 2003 in Baghdad as the Marines first moved into Baghdad. James Balls discription is accurate. The Marines were surprised by the bus approaching from their rear in an area that was supposed to completely secure. Marines are trained to fire first and ask questions later. Because this is during the initial conflict in Baghdad when cars had run check points there was a real concern for car bombs. The one gentleman who was shot down was actually running in the direction of the Company Command Post, which made him a primary target. Also, you can hear rounds cooking off in the bus as it is engulfed in flames. I believe that the other two gentlmen were later identified as middle level officers in the Iraqi army. This appeared to be a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Here's a much smaller version of the file:

If the link is dead, let me know and I'll upload the file somewhere.

hmmm- it could be right.It was first "feeling" that these "insurgents" look little bit strange.

Not sure if this was an attempt at humor or sarcasm, but the "72" is reference to the Islamic belief, a debatable 'belief' in that it is not backed by the Qu'ran (Koran), in and of martyrism that stipulates that when someone dies in an act of Jihad, they go to paradise and are served by 72 virgins/companions.

but then again.. there must have been a reason for the aroused suspicion...
