Good thing hostilities have ended in Iraq.
Otherwise, helicopters would be getting shot down and people would be getting killed and stuff.
Al-Jazeera television said Wednesday four U.S. soldiers were killed in Iraq when a helicopter came down.The Pentagon said it had no information on any missing or crashed U.S. helicopter in Iraq. It said the U.S. military in Baghdad knew of no such incident but that checks were being made....
The correspondent reported U.S. forces withdrew from city after coming under heavy attacks from residents angry at their presence. He said some residents said they shot down the helicopter.

Kinda' ironic, actually. The real hostilities start at about the same time the bush circus tells us that the war is over; just as us traitorous, naive, anti-war hippies/commies insisted would be the case.
But the next question: is the saber-rattling against Iran a result of trying to keep the word "quagmire" off the front pages?

TonyB,
My biggest fear is that the "Iran card" might be played if Flyboy's poll numbers start to decline when the '04 campaign gets underway.
In our Alzheimers-infested national consciousness, the recent Iraq invasion has about as much relevance as the Punic Wars.
