USAF playing cat and mouse game over Iran
"The U.S. Air Force is playing a dangerous game of cat and mouse with Iran's ayatollahs, flying American combat aircraft into Iranian airspace in an attempt to lure Tehran into turning on air defense radars, thus allowing U.S. pilots to grid the system for use in future targeting data, administration officials."

Here comes the big lie. Iran locks on radar to target U.S. aircraft and other pretensions. The State Department and the disgusting and compliant echo chamber (aka US Media) will be churning it out.

1. Sounds like...
A scenario for someone to "Oops! Sorry!" take out a radar installation with a HARM missle.

Wouldn't be at all surprised to find out that these recon missions have a little company with them, in the form of a Wild Weasel mission down on the deck, waiting to pop up and fox the radar.

2. Oy! Here we go!
Here's my favorite quote:

"They are not necessarily an act of war in themselves, unless they are perceived as being so by the country that is being overflown."

Nominating! This is big

3. U.S. better hope they don't forget to mark any of those sunburn missiles.
Wouldn't want to loose an aircraft carrier.
