'Things are really goin' great!'
Making progress in winning hearts and minds...

FALLUJAH, Iraq - Insurgents shot down a U.S. Chinook helicopter in central Iraq on Sunday as it carried troops headed for R&R, killing 15 soldiers and wounding 21 in the deadliest single strike against American troops since the start of war.

At the scene, villagers proudly showed off blackened pieces of wreckage to arriving reporters.

In another attack, witnesses said an explosion struck one vehicle in a U.S. Army convoy at about 9 a.m. Sunday. They claimed four soldiers died, but U.S. military sources said they couldn't confirm the report.

Meanwhile, doing the people's business, the Smirking Cokemonkey is taking time off from his long weekend at phony photo-op ranch Casa Fabricata to campaign for reboobs in state races in Mississippi and Kentucky.
