" U2 can be shot down. When our planes in the "no-fly zone" are constantly being shot at, I would have a problem putting a U2 in harms way. Wouldn't you???"

It's my understanding the U-2 can fly well above 100,000 feet. Do you think the Iraqi's have rockets with that range?? A former SR-71 pilot recently suggested to a friend of mine that the U-2 flies higher than a SR-71.

You logic is curious...you would have a problem putting a spy plane in harms way, but apparantly don't have a problem putting 200,000 troops in harms way....
