Something told me it was part of a plan... I've looked into the Patriot system's history, and I think it plays right into the entire 'false flag' scenario. In case you don't know, the Patriot Missile System is 'technically' an anti-missile missile. It was what you saw shooting down all the Scuds, and it IS a very effective system, but...
Did you know that AWACS aircraft CANNOT communicate with ground-based Patriot batteries?
When set on Auto, the system will FIRE at ANYTHING it 'THINKS' is a ballistic missile?
At least 2 'coalition' aircraft, a British Tornado and US F-18 were shotdown by the Patriot in the early days of this invasion?
I came across an MIT study of Army documents called "An Informed Guess as to Why Patriot fired on Friendly Aircraft..." It's a 46 page PowerPoint presentation. It has alot of tech-talk in it, BUT, it shows just HOW Patriot can 'see' ghost missiles, launch against them, and end up with the missile striking a completely different target, namely, an airplane that just happens to be in range.
It doesn't take a genius (or they could have never explained it to Bush) to realize that this system would be a perfect 'fall guy' for the 'accidental' downing on some Iranian aircraft. The radars used can reach well inside Iranian airspace.
This document creeps me out...
