2 explanations I can think of.

1. Running bad

2. The insurgants got a hold of some surface to air missiles. I recall hearing a report that the insurgants made a video of one of one of the downings. On the video, there was a sound of a missle being launched.

Deserts are hard on helicopters...

I think if that was the case we would have lost a lot more years ago. If a copter has been over there for any length of time, I'm sure it has gone through at least a couple complete overhauls.

I think this is the case. Who do you think supplied the missles and what should we do about it?

Did this start as a clever ruse to advocate declaring war on Iran?

If Iran is supplying these weapons what do you think we should do about it?

Well seeing as how this chopper went down in Anbar province, I suggest we invade Iraq!

It is all Bush's fault.
