One of the ways the US has come up with to limit the number of IED (roadside bombs) attacks is to monitor our most heavily traveled areas using Predators. They are very quiet and fly high enough so that they can't be heard or seen. And because they don't have a pilot, they can fly over 24 hours at a time. In this video, a Predator comes upon three insurgents planting an IED. It then contacts a nearby F-16 who then drops a 500 lb bomb on them. BTW, the person controlling the Predator is 8,000 miles away at Nellis AFB in Nevada

Not to dispute the story, but that did not look like a 500 lb bomb going off. I would venture to say that they accidently blew themselves up.

watch the video again - just before the explosion - and i think you'll see that you're wrong
as for posting your video, just upload it to youtube or one of the many other video hosting sites and then you'll have it hosted so you can get a url for it and then post the link to it here
