Horrible news. iWon News - 14 U.S. Troops Die in Iraq Copter Crash
This is the deadliest crash since January 2005 when a transport helicopter went down in a sandstorm in western Iraq, killing 31 U.S. troops. Wednesday's deaths raised to at least 3,721 members of the U.S. military who have died since the Iraq war started in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count.
We're almost at 4,000 dead and this is what Iraq's Prime Minister has to say about us.
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, meanwhile, lashed out at American criticism a day after President Bush expressed frustration with the Iraqi government's inability to bridge political divisions.
"No one has the right to place timetables on the Iraq government. It was elected by its people," the Shiite leader said at a news conference in Damascus at the end of a three-day visit to Syria.
"Those who make such statements are bothered by our visit to Syria. We will pay no attention. We care for our people and our constitution and can find friends elsewhere," al-Maliki said.
Should we be losing anymore lives for this?
