Salman Pak was in the Southern No Fly Zone, and could have been taken out at any time, over a number of years -----
What is your problem? Unable to see the forest for the trees?
It was STILL under the rule of Saddam Hussein.
The fact there was a no fly zone did not mean that Hussein could not be aware of the training base. They were still free to move about via car, or truck.
The reason for the no fly zones was to prevent Hussein from attacking the Moslems in the south, and the Kurds in the north.
