US Helicopter Downed By Surface-To-Air Missile - Witnesses
Daily Dispatch - South Africa
1-27-5

BAGHDAD (Sapa-AFP) -- At least 31 US Marines were killed in a US transport helicopter crash near the western Iraqi city of Rutbah, according to military and media reports yesterday.

It is the highest number of US fatalities to result from a single incident since the US first occupied Iraq almost two years ago.

Earlier yesterday the US military in Baghdad confirmed the crash saying it happened overnight as the helicopter was transporting soldiers from the 1st Marine Division, headquartered in Fallujah.

1. Same 'stuff', different day
Please... How bad is this getting? We are beginning to see through these 'lies' with such ease now! We knew this!!! We knew this helicopter was hit and we also know 'why' they don't want us to know this.

Not much mystery left. Is it clairovoyance, is it being psychic? ... or is it....common sense! Gads, how stupid do they think we all are..

2. I only heard that they claim the helicopter
went down due to "mechanical problems" and no mention of an attack. I sense it was an attack..... and we all know the media lies.
