MSM, Al Sadr followers glee at British chopper crash

If one looks at the picture below, 150-200 malcontents gathering around a crashed chopper throwing rocks hardly qualifies as representative of the majority of Iraqi's as the story below's headline and the many others on the internet and television today would lead one to believe.

Update: This video does show a more traditional "Allah's Animals" type demonstration occurring, but most all are followers of our fat friend Al Sadr.

Iraqis cheer at downed copter - Conflict in Iraq - MSNBC.com: "BASRA, Iraq - A British military helicopter crashed in the southern city of Basra on Saturday, and a crowd of Iraqis cheered and threw stones at British forces who raced to the scene to seal off the area.

Police Capt. Mushtaq Khazim said the helicopter crashed into a two-story house in a residential area of the city, apparently after being hit by a missile or a rocket. He said the four-member crew had died but that no Iraqis were hurt on the ground."

The British military confirmed the crash, and said that casualties had resulted, but it provided no other details. As British forces and armored vehicles arrived at the scene, some people in the crowd threw stones, jumped up and down and raised their fists. The chaotic scene was widely shown on state-run al-Iraqiya TV.
