Three young, massive stars are emerging

Wish they would back off of the triple redundant target verification and fire based on 2nd source.
Could improve the situation rapidly!
If these cameramen can get these pic's, then we should be able to bomb these targets.
...and NO, that's not overly simplistic.

How in the heck do you get these great pictures-especially the one's of the bad guys?
We should stomp these guys.
(I.e., look for the FRENCH camera crews photoging their terrorist heros..)
Second picture: why not Photoshop Kerry's face over the terrorist's?
Another outstanding Diogenesis thread. Why can't our media with their megabudgets do pictorials like these on a daily basis? You have been a tireless hero throughout these difficult times with your threads and compilations.

Insurgents show off a part taken from a U.S. Army OH-58 helicopter that made an emergency landing just north of Baghdad's Sadr City neighborhood on Sunday, Aug. 8, 2004. There were no reports of casualties.
Iraqis gather near a car that was damaged by U.S. forces during rescue operations after a U.S. Army OH-58 helicopter that made an emergency landing just north of Baghdad's Sadr City neighborhood on Sunday, Aug. 8, 2004. It was not known if the helicopter had been fired upon, or what forced it to land, but Both pilots are reported unhurt. The east Baghdad neighborhood has been the scene of sporadic clashes since Thursday between U.S. troops and insurgents loyal to militant Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.
RPG. At that range (estimate about a 300 meter shot) it's a low probability hit, especially with any forward airspeed. Guaranteed his wingman is not too far away and would see the flash and smoke from the RPG when fired. The problem is, there's lots of RPGs in an urban setting. You have to stay moving as an attack helicopter crew to survive. Hover in that setting and you stand a good chance of getting shot down.
Iraqis gather around a car that was allegedly crushed by a US tank in Baghdad's predominantly Shiite Muslim Sadr City neighborhood after a US military OH-58 Delta helicopter made an emergency landing on the edge of the slum where clashes have raged over the past three days between US troops and the Mehdi Army, a militia loyal to radical Shiite cleric Moqtada Sadr.
