I like it, but how do I save it?

If you have the save option on your Quicktime viewer just hit the down
arrow on the very right and save. If not you might have luck trying
this: Go to your Windows Explorer and under Tools Folder Options
View and enable the "Show hidden files and folders" option. Then look
in Documents and Settings The applicable user Local Settings
Temporary Internet Files. Sort by date with latest on the top and it
should be a .mov file up near the top. If you still have trouble feel
free to email me and I'll set something up so you can download it.

Dan, if you are using Win XP and IE, simply go back to the post by ME,
right click on the link and save target as whatever and wherever you want.

Try getting it from here guys...
You should be able to 'right-click', and save-as...

Looks like that guy gets one through the chest and a quick follow-up head shot.
Great shooting by whomever. But...I think a couple of rounds to his RPG
launcher are in order to deactivate it from being picked up and used by someone
else.

The speed of the sucessive shots leads me to believe that this guy was not the
victim of a US Marine sniper, since most of them are using bolt action rifles
from my understanding. The shots just seem to come too quickly to have cycled
the bolt that fast (could be wrong though).

Further, the sniper may have been able to lure the dead guy's compatriots out
into the street had he held off firing the follow up kill shot to the head.
Just wound the guy on the first shot and wait for his buddies to come out and
"rescue" him.......and then drill them all too. Make a pile of them in the
street......however, the insurgent fighters may be "on" to that tactic already.

I'd say he was planning hit a squad of Marines, or a Humvee or APC or
similar, but they saw him first and he found himself staring down the
barrels of a few US Marines...

I'm still trying to figure out why he was in the middle of a street,
no cover, no camo... stupid, stupid, stupid...

Nah, you can see the bullets kick up clouds of dust in the street from both the
chest and head shots. Whomever got him plainly shot him from a roof top, i.e.,
it was probably a sniper watching over a patrol....not a patroller.

As I mentioned before, I think the Marine snipers are using bolt actions,
however, I have seen some pics of US Army snipers carrying tricked up M-14
sniper variants. I am thinking this guy was had by an Army sniper because of
the quick follow-up shot. Consequently, I also doubt this video is from the
Fallujah action, since it was the Marines laying siege in Fallujah.

It's a "jihad" for Allah. Rationality plays little part.

One wonders just exactly what the insurgents even think they are trying to
accomplish. What will surely result if they gain supremacy is chaos, civil war,
and the weakening of Iraq making it a tempting invasion target for the likes of
Iran. So, if they think they are fighting for the good of Iraq, they are merely
deluding themselves.

I've heard that before, but that doesn't explain why his buddies weren't
fighting over the opportunity to join him in Paradise. I am reminded of when
Arafat was holed up in his office whining about how he wanted to become a martyr
when all that was required was for him to step out into the hall brandishing a
pistol. These brave fellows sure talk the talk; I just don't see that many
walking the walk.

And as this courageous freedom fighter just demonstrated, the Law of Natural
Selection plays no favorites.
