If you had bothered to read the story it was TWO flights, two months before the invasion. If you will remember we took 3 months for the buildup.

Reading's never bothered me, I like it and do a lot of it all the time. However I din't think I'll have to do a quote from a source that you're supposed to have read carefully:

The flights - 56 in total, Mr. Sada said - attracted little notice because they were thought to be civilian flights providing relief from Iraq to Syria, which had suffered a flood after a dam collapse in June of 2002.

And seriously, you're saying with a straight face that one should not waste a three month build up to a war? I must say this is some really warped worldview.

I remember well "shock and awe", "the axis of evil", the promises for a quickie and cheap war, the big antiwar demonstrations worldwide, and all that... In the end it's all about part testing of an ideology and part the usual transferring of public finances into private bank accounts. The destruction of human lives and societies was just a collateral damage.

I stand corrected, it was 2 pilots, not 2 flights.

I never said the 3 months was wasted, I am saying they had 3 months to move everything and hide it. This is more than enough time to hide anything. I saw pictures of jet fighters that had been buried in the sand. What they couldn't fly out that could just have buried.
