US Will Fly Attack Helicopters in Iraq!

[monty16]

We have to be curious on how this is going to work out now that ISIS has weapons that can shoot them out of the sky. The lesson wasn't learned well enough in Afghanistan where they were crashing a helicopter once a week because of "mechanical" problems.

Headlines from antiwar.com. A worse enemy than RT news for the US because it has the inside dirt on what's really happening

Omg, not attack helicopters! For the love of God.

[Hydraboss]

Well, thank god for that. 'Bout time they started flying those things over the wasteland.

As for Iraq having...

weapons that can shoot them out of the sky

...I believe those were called "scud missiles" and we all know how wonderfully those worked out.

Who do you think was crashing helicopters once a week in Afghanistan?

No Hydraboss, wrong missiles and wrong war. Who in their right mind would suggest that a scud missile would be used to shoot down a US helicopter? Somebody who plays with toy soldiers and shoots down the toy airplanes with rocks?

Do you have a link?

The only mention of foreign pilots flying aircraft in Iraq I’ve heard of was this:

Go to antiwar.com and you'll see it. For some reason cut and paste isn't working for me right now.

I like anitwar.com. It's not corporate shill media, nor leftwing pacifist/idealist nonsense.

Thanks.....I wonder where they plan to base them with no SOFA?

Kuwait maybe?

Folks, antiwar.com is not a legitimate source unless you're a far rightwing nativist inspired by Pat Buchanan and don't have a problem with flirtations or worse with anti-Semitism. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/07/09/129084/-Antiwar-com-Is-NOT-a-Legitimate-Source#

Dennis “Justin” Raimondo, proprietor of the “antiwar.com” website, has reveled in his status, after September 11, as America ’s most exquisite Jew-baiter. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/870765/posts

Derek,

Wait, it must not be true because antiwar.com is lying. Hold the phone and cancel that one!

Uhoh, wait, don't hold the phone, Reuters and all the other news agencies are saying the same thing.

I guess it's always going to be the same with the US apologists Derek, attack the messenger instead of attacking the message. It's sure sign of desperation to protect the image!

Freepin at the freepers ball! LOL
