Another mark on the shrub's wall of shame...

U.S. officials reveal details of downing of helicopter

By DANIEL COONEY
Associated Press Writer
KABUL, Afghanistan - The last radio contact was an urgent appeal for help. Night was falling, a rainstorm threatening, and four Navy SEAL commandos were surrounded by about a dozen militants in rugged, wooded mountains. They needed reinforcements.

2. As long as they put in the part....
where BushCo crashes and burns because the Citizens rose up in anger after hearing things like this.

Especially when they were told Afghanistan was over, and democracy was flourishing.
