APACHE COPTER DOWN IN KARBALA - the video

This is the video ...

:1orglaugh

pretty boring video, how come they just left it there for the iraqi's?

What's funny about that Mark?

That video doesn't show it from what I saw but the one on TV had some old dude with a crappy looking old gun claiming he shot it down. They said he was probably just trying to get the reward money but it's odd because there is another unaccounted for also and Iraq claimed to shoot 2 down before the second was reported missing.

Really don't know. Normal procedure would have been to blow it up .... just like oil fields:

don't leave anything for the ennemy.

Maybe they tought that when bush was saying " not to set on fire...", it applied to them also...

Joke aside. it is unusual to say the least.

A bunch of farmers dancing around waving their muskets claiming to have shot down an apache.. no doubt they are loading up their catapults now to take on the stealth bombers! :1orglaugh

Yes funny isn?t it .

These so called farmers are also managing to disrupt and hold up the worlds most advanced fighting force.

You are right. How can that be?

I have General Franks briefing 2 days ago. I will listen to it, and if someone want to hear it again, I could maybe post it.

I hope that the casualties will get " under control " even if this is not good enough as wording...

Its not farmers holding up the allies.. of course if the gloves came off and US/UK troops treated iraqi's the same way the iraqi's treat anyone else then the war would be very different.. lots of dead 'farmers' and much fewer allied casualties..

wtf, those are no muskets ... those are weapons of mass destruction !!!!

:1orglaugh

That is the most undamaged aircraft i ever seen that was claimed to be shot down. most likely the chip detector light came on, its a sensor that detects metal chips in the transmission, when it comes on, pilots must land immediatly. its better to land with power while you can than risk losing power and being forced to make an auto-rotation.

Helicopter was hit down by a peasant with simple old rifle :)))

Your copters SUCK :1orglaugh

:321GFY

:winkwink:

Global goofs: U.S. youth can't find Iraq


Whatever...I'm nowhere near any age that would be considered a "youth"

And if you make money on me, please tell me which program you run, so i can quit it right away.

THe pilots where going ot the bathroom while this vidoe was being taken,
What we don't see is when they come out from behind the shrubs, all these guys start running away....

i didn't know landing and shooting down were the same

Oh, comon, you moron :)

America has a national debt of 6.5 trillions of dollars
:Graucho

and import-export deficite of 400 BILLIONS of dollars PER YEAR :)

Your national debt is growing about 1.5 billions in a single day

OPEN YOUR EYES , FUCKER :) VERY SOON YOUR ECONOMY WILL COLLAPSE AS A BUBBLE :1orglaugh

:Kissmy

good point

:glugglug

The only person I know who was in the first Gulf War was actually part of a small group sent in after downed equiptment. They recover what they can and then destroy the the vehicle. Standard procedure...so that nobody can steal our technology. The unit was 5 guys, they were dropped into some pretty sick shit. He's got some amazing stories.

Talk about Moron, you dumb fuck, America's debt is because we continue to help third world countries like yours.

Your bitch ass government probably cries to us for assistance. Do you really think our deficit only effects us.

If we fall your country falls. America knows how to bounce back.

See it's like this you bitch. America is the Pimp and all you other countries are our whores looking for guidance. When you get out of line we get our thugs and smack you around. Some of you get smacked a lot. Or we place you under pimp arrest and take your shit away.

Bottom-line you'll always be our bitch. One day maybe we will let your country become a pimp in training and you too can have a few whores.

Everybody wants to be American but nobody wants to be American.

jealousy.

neener neerner our country will have its hand in the oil and have more money than any nation.

hahaha

neener neener.

Another American looses my respect.

You make Americans sound like arrogant dumb-fucks.

we are, but we are arragant dumb-fucks with a better country than you.

And GDP is 10 TRILLION alone, your a dumbass

I bet this is the kind of video you watch to masturbate.
You are so pathetic.
Why do you hate the United States so much?
Were you rape by a big black American dude with a monster cock?
My other friend labret, joesixpack, stanton and even dig420 have some kind of intelligent arguments, but you; all that come out of your pie hole is hatred for the USA.

Hey mother fucker; study economics and you'll find out that a trade deficit does not mean your economy is going to shit; it means you're buying more product than you're producing.....

Well pointless bashing and name calling aside, it's deff a downed Apache. It doesn't appear to have taken any fire, but helicopters are very delicate machines. The "musket loaders" they're carring are of course AK-47's. Those guns fire 7.62mm rounds -- nothing to scoff at. If one bullet hits the right piece it will bring down a chopper.

Based on the fact that it's upright and relatively good condition we can assume something came up and the pilot ditched. Hope they got away on foot before they Iraqi's made it there. You can see it's fired 5 of it's Hellfire missiles and still has three on the racks.

The pilot and gunner would both be armed with nothing more than Baretta M-9 pistols.

Said nothing Idiot: just posted a url and " this is the video..."

I wished the janitor mopping up the floor of your local peepshow wouldn't of giving the first whore he saw the proceeds of that moping.... the world wouldn't miss you.


Nice argumentation BTW. Yesterday was NAZI, today it's about blacks.... you have a problem with racisism????

I pratically had forgotten:

There is only one solution to avoid or to have avoided this kind of terrorist attack;
Deport all arabs, forbid entry in the US of all arabs.
But obviously no President will have the balls to take such a drastic measure...

Ovbviously, you work for the NASA. YOU ARE A ROCKET SCIENTIST.... No wonder Columbia went ....

It's weird that they just leave it there tho
I'm ready to bet there's a cruise missile on it way

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh
You are the most pathetic piece of scum I HAVE EVER SEEN
No words are strong enough to insult you.

well i will be willing to bet that 100's of iraqi's were comming after them, they was on the run

You FUCK, at least we have successful Space Program. Once again another country that we allow to benefit from our resources. All you supply to the worlds space program is the Canadarm and Astronauts. In America we call them TOOLS.

Americas problem is that we keep allowing FUCKS like you to advantage of our resources. What does your country offer us other than Strip Clubs and Terrorist.

Everybody wants to be an American, but nobody wants to be an American
