5th US Helicopter Downed in Two Weeks

A US Sea Knight helicopter has gone down near Baghdad, killing all seven crewmembers and passengers on board, the US military has said.


Since IED's have made land routes rather dangerous, the potential loss of safe air routes could put US troops in a very precarious situation.

I believe all five helos have been downed in Sunni-controlled areas. I wonder if this is a good time to point out the fact that the Sunni insurgency has recently seen a major increase in support from Saudi Arabia? You know, the place where Osama bin Laden is from, along with fifteen of the nineteen 9/11 hijackers.

Never mind, just keep blaming Iran. It's far easier than thinking.
