this is all guesswork but moving a high resolution KH satellite around to target a different country is not something done lightly; there are mobility resources to consider and there are targets of much higher priority than Iraq, notwithstanding the hoopla at the moment.

My guess is that Iran and certain other nuclear wannabees plus certain nuclear haves are being watched with intensity. Then there are some terrorist organizations-states that may be high priority.

Consider the nuclear arsenal of the former Soviet Union - a large number of those weapons are in the hands of or at least in the territory of former components of the USSR and not as well secured as we would hope. And there are scientist assets that might well relocate to undesirable neighborhoods, e. g., Tehran.

Thus there could be limited availability for this kind of operation whereas a manned U-2 could provide much greater flexibility.
