And that gives us the right to sell off their oil and oil fields to the highest or best connected bidder? I never realized you were a Neocon at heart, Pete.

Unless you have something to back that up with it's a pretty damn silly thing to say.

It was far from daily and far from a one way street. Most of the time it was a question of Coalition aircraft provoking a response. It went like this: Coalition aircraft overflew sensitive Iraqi sites. Seeing this, the Iraqi SAM defenses in the area would "light up" the aircraft with their tracking radar but not launch. Coalition aircraft lock onto the Iraqi radar signal and take the site out.
