Probably because the Govmt. knows Iraq is just testing their shiney new missle systems they got from China. It's also a good opp. for the U.S. to test those missle systems' tracking capabilities too. Then, after they get enough info, they take them out. War is expensive. This is cheaper. Plus, we get to continually annoy Saddam and do some intelligence gathering at the same time.
I'm only making a wild guess. I'm probably way wrong :) Todd ----- Original Message ----- From: "Raymond Camden" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, April 02, 2002 2:55 PM Subject: RE: Ready For War (Re: Why (Re: They invaded! 0_0)) > > In a lot of circles, firing rockets across an international border at > > another country is described by the words "act of war". > > > > That reminds me of Iraq.
