Need I say more?

The general also said at least two suspects have been arrested in the downing of eight helicopters since Jan. 20, but he gave no further details.

5. Hey, STOP THAT. You're embolding the enemy you traitor. Where's your patriotism?

Support the troops, damn it.

6. It's not clear if that report is about yesterday's incident or something new

:(

7. "Previously Unreported"

The NYT mentioned in passing a 'previously unreported' chopper downed in January. I saw it briefly on DU, but to the so-called MSM, it must have been 'old news' and essentially remained 'unreported' - Note the sane thing happened with the revised figures for the number of troops injured in one of the first battles of the escalation - Originally reported as 2 dead, 17 injured but the figures were 'revised' yesterday to nearly 30 injured (5 seriously). It wasn't in my local 'news'paper today. Did any other DU'er find the 'revision' in their 'news'paper?

2. yeah, but the good news is that this will use up all their missiles

SO we're really winning, because we are exhausting their supplies.

8. Yup, we CAUGHT those missiles with our helicopters.....

so they couldn't be used back here in the states. We have planes to catch some missiles with cargo aircraft real soon but those aren't actuated yet.

3. Brilliant headline!

Tragic facts.

Yet more unnecessary death.
