Good Morning y´all!

I just woke up and heard of 6 dead British soldiers and one Amercian killed by a Sea King accident. Concerning news - what´s wrong with their helis?

Reports say that the allied forces are ca. 120 miles away from Baghdad, Basra still isn´t under allied control.

Turkey´s behaviour is also not acceptable, we have to wait how they will engage in that war - if more passive or active.

So, how many brave soldiers died up to now?
14 British forces
7 American soldiers ?
So 21 total, 2 of them in combat. It´s a tragedy, 19 souls lost by accidents.

Morning folks, 6 hours till nightfall begins in Iraq. Anyone besides me believe we are gonna see another shock & awe light show today?

I think it's just the odds. There's an extraordinary numbers of operations occurring now, so eventually there's just going to be an accident. It's probably just dumb bad luck that the Brits have taken most of the losses so far.

I'm actually pleasantly surprised that there haven't been more allied casualties. Keep in mind that the U.S. had 141 KIA's in the '91 Gulf war, 121 of which were friendly fire.

I don't think there is anything wrong with the helicopters. Fox News reports it as a mid-air collision.

It's just a shame, but with the amount of operations going on, accidents are going to happen.

I also think we will lose more people before this ends. This is not going to be a cake walk, despite some of the pundits predictions. We will prevail, but there will be a cost, as I am certain the President knows.
