The Facts In Iraq Are Changing

[_JS]

Iraq shot at US aircraft patrolling the UN mandated no fly zones a number of times.

Israel blew apart a U.S. Naval vessel and I don't recall us going to war with them.

Thanks for your useful insight.

[sirs]

As if implying we went to war because Iraq took shots at are planes was why we went to war, was useful

Once is a mistake. 30+ times is aggression.

"LOLOLOLOLOL  ...I needed a good laugh. Thanks man"

You are quite welcome.
It pleases me to no end.

I never implied such.

Is that all you got? I thought you "have no intention to "get along" and will fire back when fired on?"

To use a sports metaphor, you're going to the hoop with that weak garbage?

"How many pilots were killed or wounded?"

Ridiculous analogy.

US & British Aircraft were fired upon by Iraqis over 250 times while enforcing the no-fly zone south of the 33rd parallel in Iraq and while monitoring compliance with United Nations Security Council Resolutions 687, 688, and 949 and 1441. Iraq was the only place in the world where U.S. pilots were being routinely fired upon. 

But if no one is killed I suppose it's ok to shoot at US Aircraft hundreds of times.

Thats all I need.

I thought you "have no intention to "get along" and will fire back when fired on?"

Are you speaking english because you are making no sense, but I appreciate you
helping your little friend, he certainly needs it. 

To use a sports metaphor, you're going to the hoop with that weak garbage.

If it's so weak whats your answer?
Send Barbies to enemies firing on US Aircraft?

Strange.......took an ACCIDENT created by one of our strongest allies, that ACCIDENTALLY killed U.S. servicemen, comparing it to consistent acts of aggression by a country we had gone to war with, and despite clear provisions in their surrender, consistently shot at ours and our allies' jets in a no fly zone, and you question why we we didn't go to war with Israel?

Yea, no implication there

Natzi Germany ,Facist Italy and Imperial Japan were invaded for being unfreindly to the US , it is a matter of degree.
=============================
No, they weren't.

The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, and when the US declared war on the Japanese, the Germans and Italians declared war on the US, as the three were all allied.

There was no reason to invade Iraq. It posed zero threat to any American living in America.

Al Gore: "No Doubt Saddam's Weapons Are Grave Threat"

Senator John Kerry:
When I vote to give the President of the United States the authority to use force, if necessary, to disarm Saddam Hussein, it is because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a threat, and a grave threat, to our security and that of our allies in the Persian Gulf region.

Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998.
"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face."
