Massive Movement of American Warplanes Takes Place in Scotland

I got this in my email today. I was wondering if there is any truth to this or if it's just a rumor.

The US is probably preparing another victorious war

Several days ago, a Western website published a news message which said that the US could probably launch another short and victorious war. The message specified the place where the military operation would probably happen. Below is the text of the message:

"Since Saturday, people in the Highlands of Scotland have been witnessing large movements of US warplanes overhead. Experienced observers say the large numbers are reminiscent of those that preceded the bombing of Iraq in 1998 and military strikes on Libya in the1980's as well as the first Gulf War.

"At the weekend warplanes were flying over at a rate of roughly one every 15 minutes. As well as watching them from the ground the plane spotters have also been able to overhear pilots talking by listening to their radio frequencies. <snip>

for quite a while now. About a week and a half. Perhaps they were getting ready to bomb the area in Iraq.

Not sure when it originated, but I've seen comments on DU that it related to the initial build up of forces prior to the initial attacks on Iraq this past spring.

come up with anything and I was off-line last week because of computer problems so I must have missed it.

I don't recall what conclusions, if any, were drawn in the previous posts about this report.

was from IndyMedia Scotland about a week and a half ago. This was prior to the US planes attacking Iraq this past week.

Scotland for a massive air assault on Iraq, then called it off after their secret plans were revealed on Democratic Underground. Shame on you!

They fly especially low over my house, the f15's and tornado's doing highland dog fighting, much like they do i the california deserts round 29 palms and joshua tree.

From this plane-spotting scottish highland resident, it is a false alarm.
