Five U.S. war planes have trespassed Iranian air space and may have been testing its air defenses, Iran's official news agency said Friday.
The five planes entered Iranian air space late Aug. 19 from the southwestern Shalamcheh border and flew over the city of Khorramshahr, the official Islamic republic news agency said, citing reports earlier this week in the Tehran press.
The daily Seday-e Edalat reported the fighter jets flew at high speed and altitude, then headed to the Arvand river. They flew at a height of 10 kilometers (more than 30,000 feet) and maneuvered over Khorramshahr for a while.
While the objective behind the fighters' violation of the Iranian air space is not known yet, some military specialists believe such moves are aimed at assessing the sensitivity of the Islamic Republic's anti-aircraft defense system, Seday-e Edalat said.

Looks like Iran is next....
Not surprising. I think there's more popular support for the US there than Iraq, but there's a lot more Iranians than Iraqis. We're not going to let them have nukes- that's for sure.

I think you might mean Slim Pickens (Dr. Strangelove), not Slim Whitman (country crooner). [giggle]

And with that one little mistake, an otherwise serious thread welcoms the 'Nation of Dumbies'/'Stuned Beeber' treatment.
