U.S. Helicopters filmed firing into crowd of civilians

Sounds like a retaliation strike. If I read correctly, one piece says that 2 US soldiers were killed in the initial ambush, the other says no death, only "slight" injuries to the soldiers. Either way, the official US line was to destroy the vehicle for the safety of civilians, the reality was probably to get back in there and strike hard where the insurgents live and work. The result is perhaps some insurgents hit and some"collateral damage". And more escalation fuel for Iraqi terrorist/insurgent recruiters. I'm not sure if this war has claimed the lives of as many civilians or political opponents yet as Saddam, but these strategies suggest we're not close to being done.

I want strong, SMART leadership now. Change will not jeopardize this mission any more than it is already in jeopardy. I think changing leadership would give us a chance. A new shot at rebuilding our alliances, our global support, strengthening our national resolve and implementing more sensitive (yes!), smart, and effective approaches to this complex crisis.
