The last time they also said a U.S. helicopter "crashed" in Iraq, it came out later that it was actually shut down out of the sky by enemy fire. I wonder, is that what happens when a U.S. helicopter gets shot down here in the U.S. you dummy???

"The military did not give a cause for the crash, saying only that the incident was under investigation. But the brief statement lacked the customary comment that the aircraft was not shot down, indicating it may have come under fire by insurgents."

The helicopter was probably shot down by a cheap, shoulder fired missile. Available everywhere in the ME! Helicopters are pretty much meat for them. Ask the Russians..
