Her first conspicuous move is the launch this week of Ten Minutes from Normal...
...Mogadishu comparison, the famous "Blackhawk Down" incident in which images of locals dancing over the corpse of a U.S. serviceman being dragged through the streets of the Somali capital helped prompt a U.S. withdrawal. And while nobody believes the Fallujah killings will have a similar effect, the echo was clear in the image U.S. personnel under attack from a community that they were ostensibly sent to help...
