quite possibly.

the U.S. wouldn't want to draw attention to where it went down (every minute the Iraqi's are not aware of it's exact location the better the chances of the crew getting away, especially if the Iraqi's were not aware of it going down at the time*).

Once the Iraqi's are known to have found it on the other hand the reasons for leaving it intact are gone.





*assuming it was mechanical failure, in which case an explosion from the desert where the iraqi armed forces didn't have anything would probably have drawn attention.

The Cooaliton supply line is very vunerable.

aye :(

that is the problem with rushed advances, you leave your supply lines open to attack, and it's an age old tactic to attack the them (after all, if you can cause enough disruption you either slow/stop the advance due to lack of supplies or the need to tie up troops gaurding them, or cause them to pull back until they are secure).




Iraq is now claiming to have shot down 2 Apache helicoptors (news24)

i suspect it flies with the safety on at all times, until it is ready to hit the target (most things tend to be designed to "failsafe", if just to help lower the risks to those handling them)

Geoff Hoon is about to speak. I like this guy, talks pretty straight for a politician.
