BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A U.S. Chinook helicopter flying toward Baghdad airport was shot down on Sunday and there were at least 20 casualties, the U.S. Army said.
A military spokesman said the downed helicopter had been carrying 32 to 35 people. He said rescue teams were in the area where the helicopter came down.The helicopter was one of two Chinooks heading toward Baghdad airport carrying troops back from a rest and recreation trip.
The spokesman said he had no information on where the helicopter was downed. But locals in the flashpoint town of Falluja, 50 km (32 miles) west of Baghdad, said a U.S. helicopter had come down nearby.

We cant, we're over there being nice and doing them a favor. We're not invading so we can't act like it.

BKWM, at this point doing that would be the same as letting your best friend borrow your favorite toy (pretend you still play with toys). While they were borrowing it got destroyed. You can't just go and beat the **** out of them for it, well you can but then you will look bad.

not entirely, part of the reason we are over there is to repair the damage we have already done. And in the process we will, hopefully, repair our reputation.
