So what's the deal if it turns out Ruskies are sending in rockets to the Qaeda boys like we did to the Ruskies in Taliban country? Got pinched sphincter syndrome? ++++++++ U.S. Helicopter May Have Been Shot Down Feb 21 3:07 PM US/Eastern By SINAN SALAHEDDIN Associated Press Writer BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- A U.S. helicopter that crashed Wednesday north of Baghdad was shot down, the military said after initially stating that the chopper made a "hard landing." All aboard were safely evacuated by a second helicopter, said military spokesman Lt. Col. Christopher Garver. "I can confirm that initial reports indicate that it was brought down by small arms fire and rocket-propelled grenades," Garver said, adding that the site had been secured. The statement from Garver came hours after chief military spokesman Maj. Gen. William Caldwell told reporters that the Black Hawk had made a "hard landing." CNN first reported that the helicopter was shot down. At least seven U.S. helicopters have crashed or been forced down by hostile fire since Jan. 20, killing 28 troops and civilians. Also Wednesday, a suicide car bomber struck a police checkpoint in the Shiite holy city of Najaf, killing at least 13 people in the spiritual heartland of the militia factions led by radical cleric Muqtada al- Sadr.
