#3  The poor guy that hosts this vid is getting fried on bandwidtch . . . he is an acquiantance of mine. He has done a number of good essays, his hosting service is going to fry him . . . he is also up on FARK and ar15.com.

The jihadis firing early, rather than waiting, is a relative thing. Fear makes time a funny thing and your decision making skills are seriously warped under highly stressful situations. They may know in their heads that they need to wait if they are going to get anybody . . . but they know in their lizard hindbrains that waiting until the eagle has a talon in is a bad time for the rabbit to run . . .

#2  It seems to me that if these guys were looking to kill as many US soldiers as possible, they would wait until the last minute before opening up on US troops. But they are firing on GI's way before our boys get close. This tells me that the jihadis are a little more concerned about staying alive (and running away to fight another day) than they are about killing GI's and going to Paradise right away.

#1  Nice footage.

Here is another video from Fallujah, it seems to be from a newscast.
