  Moreover choppers are slow, hence, easily targetted.

  Now Iraq is potentially another Vietnam for the US.
  
  Perhaps they can start filming Blackhawk Down II or Chinook Down ... now choppers are downed and human lives extinguished at a ridiculous rate.

  looks like it was another SAM
  
  From CNN:
  "Sources with the 4th Infantry Division told CNN they suspect a Soviet-built Kolomna KBM Strela-3 low-altitude surface-to-air missile (SAM) hit the helicopter, using an infrared guidance system."
