Think of it, our 'innocent' troops who were only trying to provide freedom (from life) for all Iraqis are caught in a brutal surprise attack by Turkish forces...

Turkey is in NATO. Israel and Turkey have several joint military programmes including the Merkava Main Battle Tank. So the prospect of Turkey and the US going to war is absolutely NIL.

LONDON_ Britain´s foreign minister said Monday that the downing of a C-130 military transport plane north of Baghdad, which reportedly killed about 10 servicemen, was the biggest single loss of British lives since the start of the Iraq war.
In a statement posted on an Islamic Web site, the Iraqi militant group Ansar al-Islam claimed responsibility for Sunday´s downing the plane north of Baghdad. The statement´s authenticity could not be immediately confirmed.
The group claimed its fighters tracked the aircraft, ``which was flying at a low altitude, and fired an anti-tank missile at it.´´
The plane went down hours after polls closed in Iraq while flying from Baghdad to the town of Balad.
