Mr Bush told the Mr Blair that the US was so worried about the failure to find hard evidence against Saddam that it thought of "flying U2 reconnaissance aircraft planes with fighter cover over Iraq, painted in UN colours".

This is such a juvenile load of nonsense.

Bush was going to disguise our U2 planes to look those U2 aircraft the UN flies. This was to fool the Iraqis on the ground 70,000 feet below.

Wasn't Saddam already firing SAMs at our fighters?

Riiiiiiiight... And this was because Saddam hadn't already violated enough of the sanctions?

Obviously the novelists at the Guardian think we're as dumb as they look.
