US SPY PLANE CRASHES IN IRAN
Islamic Community Net
June 22, 2005

"...the military would not confirm the location of the crash, 'due to host nation sensitivities'"

There is no mention that the "host nation" is a WILLING "host nation". And to see just WHICH "host nation" lies between Iraq and Afghanistan, view:



This spy plane over Iran immediately follows a report (see the second article below) from former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter that the US is deploying spy aircraft against Iran:

"As we speak, American over flights of Iranian soil are taking place, using pilotless drones and other, more sophisticated, capabilities. The violation of a sovereign nation's airspace is an act of war in and of itself."

Please note that 2 articles follow:

*US spy plane crashes in southwest Asia, pilot killed - UPDATE
*The US war with Iran has already begun

more....

2. We're probing Iran's defenses
That's not exactly the same as waging an air campaign to dismantle Iran's air defenses and take out its units on the ground. You cannot do that unless you can pinpoint the opponent's strengths and weaknesses and your opponent's location. This is what probing is for.

This doesn't necessarily mean war will follow. The US military did this all the time with the Soviet Union.

3. The junta won't ask, won't even try to pretend there's a legitimate reason
to attack Iran or anybody else. They will just give the orders. Once the other side starts shooting back, our troops have to fight or die.

Our Troops are being held hostage overseas. The ransom is the continued passage, by Congress, of unlimited sums of money for the DOD to pay to the private contractors who supply food and water to the troops stranded overseas. We have got to let Congress know we want our troops home NOW. We have to let them know we are aware the troops are being held hostage by corporations and we want an end to it. Tell them anyone who does not insist on withdrawal from this illegal conflict will be out of work and out of the mainstream in 06.

TELL THEM!
