- Emore 16y agoOne US helicopter went down. Probably the one tweeted about. http://english.aljazeera.net/indepth/2011/05/2011526196121642.html http://english.aljazeera.net/indepth/2011/05/201152619612164...
- jonknee 16y agoWhat does losing a helicopter have to do with it being a covert operation? Special forces use helicopters all the time. The official story is they brought two helis, had a mechanical failure with one, destroyed it and then left in the remaining unit.
- Maro 16y agoI guess I mistakenly thought covert means secret, without helicopters hovering over the city and people tweeting about it.
- jonknee 16y agoIt was covert enough that no one knew who the target was until well after the event. The neighbors knew something happened, but had absolutely no idea what.
