US helicopter troops die in Iraq
The Chinook CH-47 is manufactured by the Boeing corporation
A US military helicopter has crashed in southern Iraq, killing seven US soldiers, the military has said.
The CH-47 Chinook helicopter made a “hard landing” shortly after midnight on Thursday about 96km (60 miles) west of the city of Basra, it said.
The helicopter was flying from Kuwait in a convoy that was heading to a US military base north of Baghdad. An investigation is under way.
The US currently has around 147,000 troops based in Iraq.
…
Negotiations over the future status of the US troops are underway between Washington and Baghdad.
A UN mandate covering the presence of foreign troops in Iraq expires at the end of 2008.
The troop negotiations are in the infamous “Green zone” of Baghdad; with the “sovereign” Baghdad government being spied upon by the Bush administration, and having United States guns pointed at its head.
How many more soldiers (and Iraqi civilians) will have to die in this terrible war before the troops at last will go home to the USA?
