Something doesn't add up. Firstly the Iraqi's are claiming *peasants* shot down two apache helicopters. That in itself seems slightly dubious, but even more strange is that fact that to knock down one of those bad boys you are going to have to do some damage and yet the apache the Iraqis filmed on the ground had no visible damage whatsoever.
They also said "We may, if it suits us, show you the pilots" ....this just seems like a convenient way of covering their tracks, as personally I very much doubt they have captured any pilots and so they can just say they chose not to show them if they are asked to prove their claims.
