Seeing the helicopters in formation brought back the flashbacks of the evening news reports in the 60's that would show airborne paratroopers and how this was the way we were "winning the war". The rhetoric was the same then as now...and the results appear to be as well...or lack of them.
They're trying to portray Iraqis as taking a leading role in this charade...getting them lots of camera time...but you can just see they'd stick the knife in the second you turn your back. Yep, real allies they are. But then if our country was invaded as ruthlessly, how could you cooperate with an occupier?
