Have the Syrian rebels been supplied Surface to Air shoulder fired missiles? In recent testimony to Congress, State Department Officials acknowledged that 10,000 to 20,000 of those are missing or unaccounted for in Lybia.

Too bad it didn’t crash into the ground and do that right on top of the folks saying all the akbars.

That wasn't a missile: shoulder-fired missiles have small grenade-size warheads that wreck engines. That Mi-8 was hit by something and its engine was burning in the first part of the video and it was apparently on the way down when its cargo detonated. Something it was carrying - probably something big like artillery ammo - went off all at once.

I've seen a lot of helicopters shot down and they never go up like this!

It’s almost as if some “conservatives” want Syria to go Islamist like Egypt.

So now we know what Ambassador White was up to in Benghazi. Pity it turned out so badly for him.

They screamed Allahu Akbar when they hit it. I doubt these are akin to the Founding Fathers, no matter what McCain, Romney and Obama think. There is bipartisan support for these rebels, and it is more idiocy.

Hope and pray zero doesn’t decide he needs to inject American air forces into Syria for a poll bump.

More weapons in Syria could trigger 'all-out war'

I just saw a helicopter EXPLODE in mid-air.
I'd say we're well on our way, if not there already.

That’s one way to enforce a “no-fly” zone..
