Taliban down 2 Yank choppers

WASHINGTON - Afghan insurgents downed two U.S. military choppers on
Sunday, bringing the year's total to four, in what experts call the
"Iraqization" of an escalating war with Al Qaeda and the Taliban.

"Initial indications reveal that enemy fire caused two CH-47 Chinook
helicopters involved in offensive operations in southern Afghanistan to
make hard landings Sunday," military commanders said in a statement
yesterday.

One chopper forced down near Kandahar resulted in five injured U.S.
troops. The second was hit about 50 miles north at Tarin Kowt, but
limped to a base. Both choppers were flying over Taliban strongholds
where fighting has raged this year.

The shootdowns alarm Afghan analysts, who also are worried by an
increase in roadside and suicide bombings this year, which have dwarfed
2004's total.

"You are seeing the tactics from Iraq being transferred to Afghanistan,"
said ex-Defense Intelligence Agency analyst Julie Sirrs. "The \[enemy\]
has had a resurgence this year."

Yep...we're training 'em in Iraq and they're putting their skills to
work against us elsewhere.



Yep. No reported casualties.

But how about these reports that you did not report Harry:

Oh my! How the bad news is advertised but the good news
suppressed.........including folks like Krause. ;-)

Harry has his websearch engine set to "Advanced: Doom and Gloom search
only".



Now, that is funny.
