I'm afraid there's a good chance the perpetrators have been getting away in these attacks. Most are eventually rounded up anyway but the speed and surprise of these incidents makes it difficult to immediately nab the offenders. It takes a certain amount of professionalism to hit a chopper with an RPG instead of missing by at least a few feet, so these aren't angry amateurs who haven't had at least some formal training in guerilla combat. With even rudimentary training, many of their attacks and subsequent escape plans are premeditated. Again, human intelligence is absolutely vital and we need more of it.

I know it seems slow in coming but our HUMINT is regaining strength.
Putting the military in the middleast surely will result in better HUMINT than we had previously.
