Mission Tragically Bungled

“Before yesterday, the worst incidents were the deaths of 17 soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division in the November 2003 collision of two UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters, also in Mosul, and, two weeks before that, the loss of 15 soldiers when a CH-47 Chinook transport helicopter crashed west of Baghdad.

All three occurred after President Bush's May 2003 declaration that major combat operations in Iraq had ended.”
