- I'm no expert, but it seems these guys were pretty close to the blast to be left standing. ?
- Who the hell took the pictures and from where?
- Nice aim!

Pretty high speed camera or video frame capture. That was only a couple seconds at most. I bet the next few frames would show him at least going down from concussion. May have been spared shrapnel being below the ridge.

Have no idea who took the pics/video. King Obama said No boots on the ground so it couldn't be our guys?

There's actually a video on Western Journalism 's site (can't seem to paste it here off my phone) with what sounds like cheering and clapping from locals.

You got it. ... and pretty sure so did the bad guy's after the follow up drops.

Even if he wasn't hit with schrapnel, wouldn't the pressure wave kill him?
