Reconnaissance Plane, Choppers Down In Iraq As US Airpower Shows Vulnerability

2004-10-08

Jihad Unspun so you just know it's true.

The superiority of America's airpower that has been its edge in its invasions of both Afghanistan and Iraq and in exercising its control of the world it isn't looking quite so slick after a spate of Iraqi resistance strikes have downed several helicopters and a reconnaissance planes recently.Islam memo's correspondent reported Wednesday that resistance fighters brought down a reconnaissance plane that was flying over Haifa Street in Baghdad. More than 24 hours later, the American army finally admitted receiving the last communication from the plane around noon on Wednesday and the fate of the aircraft is unknown. Islam memo correspondent also reported that American troops cordon the area and started a frantic search for the aircraft.
I think this is the model airplane they supposedly took down yesterday.
US Cobra Aircraft Downed Near Samarra
Resistance fighters deployed a C5K rocket to bring down a US Cobra at 7:15 am Wednesday near Samarra. In the meantime, resistance fighters fired more than 45 rockets at the American occupiers surrounding Samarra city, dispelling the myth that the resistance in Samarra has been quelled after a US bombing raid.
Guess we'll have to bomb some more.
Two Black Hawks Destroyed Inside Ba'aqubah Airport
Two Karad rockets landed inside Ba'aqubah airport causing the destruction of two Black Hawks. Heavy fighting was reported in the Basra area lasting for 90 minutes. 3 Americans and 11 Iraqi national guards were killed and one Bradley armored vehicle was destroyed. Three resistance fighters were martyred and their blue Caprice classic vehicle was destroyed.
Oh, no! Not the blue Caprice Classic!
25 Paratroopers Killed In Al-Yousifiah
American forces attempted to land paratroopers at the rear of resistance fighter's line in Al-Yousifiah but the paratroopers were ambushed by a resistance fighters unit. Islam memo is reporting that most of the paratroopers unit was neutralized.
Did they airdrop some Abrahams tanks and CIA operatives in with them?

#9 I'm not against it when it's particularly illustrative, like the Arab News (?) piece about the Hmong and the Kurds last week... it's just that Jihad Unspun in particular gets repetitive after a while.

#7 Me third.

The fact that the jihadis beliefs are a mountain of bullshit is nothing new; so if we're going to sample this crap for illustration purposes, at least make it high quality crap. This JU stuff is just junk.

#6 I concur with Phil.

Jihad Unspun is an absurb propoganda site for Islamic fascism and their leftist supporters worldwide.

Do they really need a forum at Rantburg?

I mean we already have NY Times consistently and the WaPo from time to time spin news the way the left wants it spun, but this board?

Send to Kos or DU, where they will really appreciate the news of dead Americans/American allies..

I would much rather read news of dead jihadis myself.

#5 Is it really necessary to keep quoting Jihad Unspun? By now it's so repetitive I think it's a waste of bandwidth. Unless we're supposed to figure out if it might be true; I think the chances of that are remote.

#4 Stupid people are born every second. It's more important to whack their teachers and oil tick who pay for it.

#3 Atomic is right. Just a form of Darwinism.Get rid of "The impressionable, the mentally challenged, the gullible, the pathologically aggressive", as you say.

#2 Unfortunately, it also makes its way to Democrats.

Wait... you did say "the mentally challenged" and "the gullible".

#1 I see this kind of propaganda as evolution in action. Simple-minded punks throughout the Eurabian hegemony read these fantasies, and flock to sign up for the jihad. The impressionable, the mentally challenged, the gullible, the pathologically aggressive, are being fed into a giant meat-grinder. So are the depraved philosophies and failed societies that foster them, since sooner or later the truth must dawn on the survivors.
