I think this is the first time that anyone has been killed in an Abrams as a result of enemy action.

Looks to me like they are getting organized, but I defer to the Pentagon and White House on the intentions and morale of the enemy.

Well according to Bush that is the same as desperate.

Yes, I think so too. M1s can survive direct fire from a number of different enemy victors. But as we've seen in Israel, a large enough bomb will take out any tank in the world.

It isn't just lefties that say Bush messed up.

Iraq is a mess right now.

To return to the subject of the tank being destroyed. It was blown up by a land mine. It was not the first Abrams destroyed. Here's a Guardian article -- no subscription necessary. Tank Destroyed

As for you, Crimson. It delights me that you picked a name that means "red." A color associated with the left. I wish I could say that your analytical and argumentative skills were "unbelievable." Alas, all to believable.

No, I didn't say it was the first destroyed or damaged. I said it was the first time crew members had been killed. I am pretty sure that is accurate.

Ah! Thanks for the correction Tnitsuj. You're probably right.

Ok so exactly whose fault is it that we are in Iraq, without international support and without an exit strategy?
