I did not say anything about north or south, only that he operated in a no-fly zone You said he operated in the Kurdish no-fly zone, which was in the north. Baghdad and Salman Pak were never in a no-fly zone. Who are you trying to kid here?

Nobody works harder at spinning this story than you do --spin away. Well.. ain't that the pot calling the kettle black... Iraq is a "playground" for terrorists now?? As if it wasn't before? Hell, it was enough fun for the likes of Abu Abbas and Abu Nidal to think they could actually live safely there... And who is now bearing much of the brunt of militant terrorism? It's the Iraqi people, not the US forces.. Islamic militancy has really found itself required to focus on a new enemy.. The prospect of a secular, or even worse, a Shiite Iraq, provided some measure of international legitimacy.. That means they aren't spending as much time focusing on how to attack the US... They have to spend their resources there in Iraq.. As for those American servicemen who have sacrificed their lives.. the majority of them KNOW AND AGREED with the reasons the US went into Iraq. So for you to try and cite them as some kind of support for your argument is a true desecration of everything they stood for during the lives they led. Hawk
