# Posted 11:10 AM by Ariel David Adesnik The NYT reports that Apache helicopters have taken heavy fire near Baghdad while hunting for Iraqi armored division. Interestingly, an American general noted that in an attack like the one on the helicopters, "you have 10 guys lying on top of a building firing RPG's and small arms. You can go in and bomb that building and reduce it to rubble," but at the potential cost of many civilian lives.The WaPo reports that the US took unexpectedly heavy casualties in the battle for Nasiriya. 16 soldiers are reported dead. The closest thing to good news there is that the American people are still firmly behind the war despite a growing sense that it may last longer than expected and involve heavier casualties.
