Why bother surrendering AND electing Kerry.

Save a step.

Elect Kerry and he'll surrender for you.

And it wasn't "downed". According to coalition sources, it merely made an "emergency landing due to groundfire".

Heck, take a look at the photo and judge for yourself:

LMFAO if an emergency landing after being hit by ground fire isn't downed I don't know what is. Love the spin they put out. Bit like "of the 700 dead 95% were militia". You'd have to be blind to believe a statement like that.

Yes.

When the government tells us that an aircraft was forced down its spin.

By contrast, those claims that we're all doomed because an aircraft was shot down during a war are spin free.

I believe the article stated the aircraft as destroyed by american forces to avoid it being looted.

The first report of the incident that i saw before it come out on cnn was that a reporter from AP had seen a chopper go down in flames between falluja and bagdad. He thought it was an apache.

If you were a little less eager to report doom and gloom you might be able to wait and get the facts.
