Holy ****! (Iraq) Helo shot down, Up to 35 aboard, casualties unknown.
Just saw one of those banner breaking news things on CNN, a US Helo with as many as 35 passengers was downed over Iraq by an unknown weapon.
No more info as of yet.
edit - Saw BBC, Irish and other Euro sites also, but seemed from those stories that the helo crash landed, not necessarily a hard crash.

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.

I'm looking for the news here to get some confirmation about the number of casualties.
Bad stuff.. I think one of the worse things with this (naturally with the casualties) are that this can be used to get some momentum and confidence. Isn't it this weekend that Saddam encouraged attacks against US?
Anyway, I'll look up what our news has on this.

We have it like this:
At least 1 KIA and 20+ wounded. We'll have to see how this develops.

Ok.. I guess that would be correct information.. Did they say anything about the wounded ones and about their condition?
