I haven't heard anything more yet on this, and I'm about to be sequestered for the weekend at a fiddlers getaway at a ranch/conference center, but I'm aware that it's been reported that the Iraqi military has pretty much routinely shot at US/British pilots, and that intelligence reports point to a growing re-armament in Iraq. I also agree with Doug R on his initial reaction. We'll just have to see how this all plays out, whether it will help prevent a bigger mess from happening later, or if Hussein wants to escalate it into who knows what.
