Iran-Iraq

We should recall that the Israel flew over other nations in close-formation to be disguised as a wayward jetliner on radar to bomb the then French built nuclear power plant in Iraq. One of the four pilots perished in the disintegration of NASA orbiter Columbia, and ironically his notebook is being preserved, it fluttered to earth. This act directly or indirectly led to belligerency in "southwest Asia". I don't think it should be repeated. US Marines, just recently broke the international seals on the "yellow cake uranium" stored at that site which had been under international control, now mostly missing. Why? US mismanagement. A number of years ago, we built, delivered, and trained from a US compound in Iran of 4000 Grumman employees, pilots for 80 F-14 Tomcats (of 100) in service to the Shah of Iran, before the Iranian student begun "hostage crisis" (over Savak secret police spying on their students here in the US they've said). I was sitting with an F-14 test pilot on his birthday at his home when the US announced on national television it would destroy all the F-14's if the USSR made a move toward Iran's border, over the "air-to-air" technology the F-14 possessed which acquires up to 6 multiple targets at long range and rumored to have electronic counter-measure. I thought to speak here as the aircraft carrier Eisenhower steams toward Iran, where the US Navy Aegis system once destroyed a peaceful Iranian jetliner full of Islamic pilgrims. Ike warned us of the military-industrial complex, didn't he? There's an atomic cannon pointed at Dwight D. Eisenhower's hometown in Abilene, Kansas in Junction City, Kansas you can see at roadside america. My high school Western Civ. teacher was an Army Reserve atomic cannonman.
