Piñata

Channel 4 news in England has revealed based on top secret British documents that in a January 2003 meeting George Bush tried to hatch a scheme to get Saddam Hussein to become in material breach of previous UN Security Council resolutions.

Bush wanted to fly a U2 spy plane over Iraq painted in UN colors at a low enough altitude that the Iraqis could shoot it down. If they did, or at least shot at it, Iraq would be in material breach. These planes were regularly flying over Iraq, but at a higher altitude than Iraq anti-aircraft batteries could reach. In effect, Bush wanted to put US airmen in a piñata for Hussein to shake a stick at. The idea was eventually scuttled.

This is an example of the horrible disregard the Bush administration has for the value of human life, including our military. It's a suicide mission.
