I guess this is a present for Bush on the day of his big speech. Looks like another rocket attack. I thought Afganistan was being touted as a great success. Maybe we should have finished the job while we still had the troops to do it right.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A big U.S. military Chinook helicopter that crashed in Afghanistan on Tuesday was carrying between 15 and 20 American troops, according to preliminary reports, a U.S. defense official said.
There was no immediate indication of the fate of the passengers or the cause of the crash, according to the U.S. military. But an Afghan official said that a rocket was fired at the helicopter.
"A rocket was fired at an American helicopter in the district," said the official in Kunar province, who requested anonymity.
I would spew something from my gut here, but maybe I should take a deep breath and pray for all of the young people and their families who are living this nightmare. Peace.
