It's not like it'll make a big difference in the long run. By the time they can get anything from it, Saddam's regime will be gone.

Hell, if they're hauling it around on a flatbed I'd wager Air Force'll be taking another crack at and get it this time.

I can imagine them selling it on eBay.

1 AH-64 Apache helicopter in reasonable order. Some restoration required. Going to highest bidder. All weapon systems intact. Will not ship to US or NATO nations.

Check that. Just looked at the pics again:

1 AH-64D Longbow helicopter in reasonable order. Some restoration required. Weapons systems intact, armament extra. Will not seperate for sale. Will not ship to US or NATO nations. Starting bid 10,000,000 Euros. Buyer pays S&H.
