Centcom is trying to spin the fact that an RPG shot down another helicopter. Which is what happened. It didn’t just “come down”. By what? A faulty engine? Please. Try grenade. Then they pulled an ambush on the downed chopper.
Think about it: the helicopter just landed and then an ambush just miraculously exploded around it? Please. They ran into the simple version of a flak trap, and then when they came down, they were fighting for their lives. Which is no more an accident than the assassination attempt on Wolfowitz.
