U2 overflights were never needed in the first place. They were just a red herring to show Saddam's unwillingness to cooperate.
We need the airspace opened up a bit for the B-52s.

FNC just reported that our U2 flights have been threatened although they do not know what the nature of the threat is.

From
AP:
WASHINGTON, Mar 11, 2003 (AP WorldStream via COMTEX) -- Iraq forced the suspension of U.S. surveillance flights, threatening one of two planes already in the air, a senior U.S. official said Tuesday.
Multiple flights are permitted under a U.N. Security Council resolution approved last November and the Bush administration is seeking clarification from U.N. inspectors, said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity.

They were just a red herring to show Saddam's unwillingness to cooperate.And he has delivered yet again. That is one of the requirements in Resolution 1441, I believe.
