"Iraq routinely fires on aircraft in the no-fly zones."

That's what we hear but common sense says it's a bit distorted I think.... They rarely fire at us because if they use radar guidance they are are locked on to and destroyed....The last reported firing at us was blind firing, ie they didn't use radar..... We also destroy every fire and command center we discover.... For additional info on what we are doing read Neocon post from earlier today...the French one..

I accept the fact that the Vincennes fired accidentally but I don't recall why the captain thought he should fire...that's why I asked if anyone asked the Iraqi pilots why they fired....

Do you know the true story of the Russians shooting down KAL007??
