The lame deployment of the Army's 24 Apache helicopters--slowed by the need to ship humanitarian supplies into the region--created a perception that the Army couldn't get those choppers to war promptly and that the Pentagon was chicken to use them once they got there. Moreover, despite decades of chatter about fast, light forces, the U.S. Army still can't move a major fighting force quickly into place.

...Trovan. The agency acted after receiving reports of 140 cases of liver damage among Trovan users since February 1998. Fourteen of the cases involved acute liver failure in which six patients died. The agency effectively pulled the prescription drug from general pharmacy shelves and instructed doctors to restricts its use to emergency situations in hospitals and nursing homes -- that is, in those instances where the need to combat a serious, life-threatening infection outweighs any liver risk...
