Nice shot.
Yes, there are parts of Iraq that are mountainous and green. Remember it goes all the way up to Turkey in the North. It snows up there sometimes...

...its been a week long discussion at work... possibly in the North as Simon said however I thought maybe Afganistan?
Does look like desert US DPM though, but wouldn't the aircraft be in Desert Cam?

Is a fairly recent photo looking at their kit but as you say, difficult to tell if its Eye-rack or AFG. As an aside, the yanks don't usually cam up their helos in the desert.

I've seen them do this in Belfast where there are several observation posts on top of blocks of flats. I sat on the bus one morning and watched them do this, I assume they were dropping off gear as well as people as it seems normal for people just to nip up the stairs. The 12 floors below had people living in them. I wonder can you report the noise to the council?

new lodge flats i expect, Ah i spent a little time up there, the floor below is empty and rigged up, although the neighbours still tried to burn us out.

Not Iraq,
definately Afgan,there is only one US Embassy in Iraq and that is Baghdad.
A lot of house assaults were done on the suspected AQ positions in the mountains.

That is one fantastic pic 
I got to stay on a Chinook and Puma base for a week (RAF Odiham) and it was Spent the week being flown around in them, plus one night went out on a low level night flight training exercise in a Puma, that was the highlight of the week, was definately an experience I will never forget

A real picture:
"Origins: This is another real photograph, taken during Operation Mountain Resolve, a month-long operation launched in November 2003 to round up Afghan rebels in eastern Afghanistan's Kunar and Nuristan Provinces. The picture shows a CH-47 Chinook helicopter being lowered onto a roof to receive Afghans taken by the Army's 10th Mountain Division."
Taken from here.
Edited to add I've had a few trips in the back of RAF Chinooks and the pilots can really chuck them around when they want to - normally causing the jessies on board to vom everywhere.

Amazing picture, thanks for posting that on. Had a trip in a Jolly Green Giant once in the Nevada desert along the river banks at minimum height, none of us would ever forget that trip
