FALLUJA, Iraq (Reuters) - A U.S. helicopter came down on Thursday south of the flashpoint Iraqi city of Falluja, west of Baghdad, witnesses said.

A U.S. military spokeswoman in Baghdad said she had no immediate information on the incident.

Guerrilla attacks have brought down several helicopters in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion a year ago.

Last November two Black Hawk helicopters collided and crashed in the northern city of Mosul after coming under fire, killing 17 U.S. soldiers in the bloodiest single incident for American forces since major combat was declared over on

8. My thoughts exactly

And don't forget the three additional KIA - two soldiers, one Marine (I believe) killed in two mortar attacks overnight.

Fricking depressing.

9. I fear it is going to be really bad in two days

Sorry about the link. My fears are that yesterday and today are only a warm up for what is in store on Saturday. It's a disgrace our Congress is passing a resolution applauding Bush for making the world safer.

You are correct. It is a shameful, sham of a resolution from a pathetic, war-mongering congress. Real fucking safe, my Ass!
