Abdali, its a great day for Ummah come join in the celebration that the voice of Iraqis has been heard. Stop wasting your time with posting tragic news. Break that bond with that evil doer OBL and be happy come join us.

Oops

Re: C130 Crash near Baghdad

Was this another one of them planes carrying girl guide troops with cookies for Iraqi orphans?

Re: C130 Crash near Baghdad

Well, they are reporting many killed. No exact number on the casualties or the cause. It would make a sweet present on the election day, if it had been shot down (which probably it is, since C-130s don't usually come down that easily).

Re: C130 Crash near Baghdad

Seems like they want to keep this present to themselves… And seems like this present is quite big too… It will take limelight away from selections oops I mean elections so we must understand.. :slight_smile:

Re: C130 Crash near Baghdad

Pretty sick isn't it that news like this is being kept hushed until the s-election fever dies down.

Re: C130 Crash near Baghdad

My mamoo who is on ziarat to Iraq says many, many people have been killed.

Re: C130 Crash near Baghdad

15 dead brits.

Bring them all home, Mr Blair, British troops have no legitimate business or right to be in Iraq!

Re: C130 Crash near Baghdad

I guess they don’t build 'em like they used to :hehe:

Re: C130 Crash near Baghdad

15 dead limeys not bad teach them to come and occupy other peoples lands.

They only learn the hard way these damn occupiers!

Re: C130 Crash near Baghdad

No they still do.. only the “insurgency” is now perhaps equipped with more than just RPG’s.. If that is true then this is very bad news indeed for the troops there.. the turning point for occupations is when they lose air superiority.. the only reason they are using air lifts in the first place is because the roads are already lost to the “insurgency”..

Re: C130 Crash near Baghdad

Damn those engies are good, well actually they are very bad but hey we don't care. Less men for the freedom fighters to worry about.

Re: C130 Crash near Baghdad

well, i think the missiles existed from the day one of this war, just not in enough numbers to actually make a huge difference. Two things can really turn the tables on the US in this guerilla war - shoulder fired anti-aircraft missiles for shooting down helicopters in close combat, and armour piercing anti-tank missiles such as Kornet.

Re: C130 Crash near Baghdad

Blimey she was quick off the mark, very politically astute people these Iraqis.

Re: C130 Crash near Baghdad

A “special duties” aircraft would normally carry a **crew of **five or six. It could carry up to 128 passengers but in a special forces role, a maximum of 70 is more likely.

Re: C130 Crash near Baghdad

what a picture sums up the reality of what Iraqis think of the Occupiers should shut those big mouths of these right wingers and the brown nosers without a doubt!

Iraqis not the only ones very happy when occupiers die belive that!

Re: C130 Crash near Baghdad

A simple grade math question.

A C-130 carrying a load of 70 crashes. There are no surviors.

If out of 70 upto 15 were British soldiers, How many Americans lost their lives for Israel?

1 pet dog got slightly injured!?
