Default Taliban downs two US choppers

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. ;-)

I agree. It was indeed a very clever remark.

Good morning Kevin.

NOYB,
Most people would view Harry's cut and paste as "Doom and Gloom". Harry
views his posts as "Jumping with Glee". Harry has stated anything bad for
Bush is Good for America, and that makes him happy, so when he posts his
negative articles, including the death toll on US armed forces, he really is
Jumping with Glee.

When terrorists bomb a bus of civilians, he somehow thinks that that is bad
for Bush. But it actually increases Bush's resolve, and convinces the
average American that Bush is right about Iraq being the frontline in the
war on terror...and that we can never leave, lest the terrorists come here.

I keep asking you this, but you don't seem to have an answer. What makes you
think terrorists are likely to originate in Iraq? I'm referring to the type
who'd want to do something here in the mainland U.S.

They're not likely to originate in Iraq. In fact, most sources confirm that
the majority of the suicide bombers are from neighboring countries. Every
suicide bomber who floods into Iraq to blow himself up, is one less suicide
bomber who will be available to blow himself up in Israel, Europe, or the
United States.
