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." James Gordon Meek http://www.nydailynews.com/news/wn_r...p-316464c.html 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: http://tinyurl.com/9hqzf http://tinyurl.com/dv7u4 http://tinyurl.com/9sol3 http://tinyurl.com/7jw8j http://tinyurl.com/audyv http://tinyurl.com/dxmtl http://tinyurl.com/ckfjj http://tinyurl.com/cpg2u (I think I made my point.) 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. This is funny, too, right? Suicide Bombing in Iraq Kills 30 Suicide Attack on Bus to Shiite Town Kills at Least 30 People and Wounds Nearly 40 The Associated Press BAGHDAD, Iraq - A suicide bomber detonated an explosive belt in a bus as it was about to depart Baghdad Thursday for a Shiite city in the south, killing up to 30 people and wounding nearly 40, police and hospital officials said. Most of the dead were in the bus, which was gutted by flames, and the rest were gathered around a food stall nearby, police said. The Kindi hospital said at least 37 were injured. The blast occurred a week before national elections, and officials had warned of a surge in violence ahead of the balloting. Several other explosions rumbled through the heart of the capital Thursday morning. Witnesses told police that the attacker left a car, boarded the bus and blew himself up as it was about to leave for Nasiriyah, 200 miles southeast of Baghdad, police Lt. Ali Mitaab said. Fire swept through the bus following the blast, trapping passengers. Their charred corpses remained in their seats, their faces starring out through the shattered windows. Police climbed over the top of the vehicle inspecting what remained of luggage. The attack occurred at the major bus station for vehicles headed to the mostly Shiite areas of the south. In August the station was the scene of a horrific triple car bombing which killed at least 43 people and wounded 89. Copyright 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
