FALLUJAH, Iraq - Gunmen shot down a U.S. attack helicopter during fighting in western Baghdad on Sunday, and the fate of its two-member crew was unknown. Insurgents and Marines called a cease-fire in the besieged city of Fallujah, but the fragile peace was shaken by a gunbattle that wounded two Americans.
A pall of black smoke rose on Baghdad’s western edge where a military spokesman said the AH-64 Apache helicopter was downed by ground fire in the morning. More helicopters circled overhead, while U.S. troops closed off the main highway — a key supply route into the capital.
“The condition of the (Apache’s) crew is unknown,” the spokesman said.

No less than 60 American soldiers/terrorists have now been killed in the last 10 days in Iraq - the highest proportion since the first ten days of the war in March 2003. That tells us all something. :)

A terrorist is a terrorist whether or not one lives in the US, but then again, "If you're not with us, you're against us" right? It's very clear who the terrorists are in this genocide. I'm just waiting for the next terrorist to get dragged through the streets in Iraq.

A terrorist is someone who uses civillian buildings to attack the enemy and wears civllian clothes and hides in mosques.
