Crashes

What the hell is going on with all these U.S. military helicopters getting shot down in Iraq -- six in the past three weeks!?

Why this is particularly bad:
Historically, improved tactics in shooting down helicopters have proved to be important factors in conflicts in which guerrillas have achieved victories against major powers, including battles in Somalia, Afghanistan and Vietnam.
This won't be the end of it. There are six million ways to fail in Iraq. And George W. Bush is determined to drag us through all of them.
