What would cause a tank to get into this kind of situation?

From: http://www.iraqwar.ru/

US "Abrams" tank stuck in an irrigation canal near Tikrit.

I noticed the stencil, "Bush and co." on the turret.
I wonder when the left will use this pic against Bush.
It'd be their mistake. The tank might have been slowed down, but is still a highly effective terrorist killing machine...

Looks like they drove a bit too close to the edge of the canal. They either slid into it (the M1 can slide on wet grass without tearing it up!), or part of the bank collapsed under its weight.
