Desert Badger Game

Was Bush going to sacrifice a pilot to have an Iraq war?

This was a pointless media campaign that began shortly after Bush took office about how Iraq was attacking our planes. The problem, if it was a problem, was they never hit them. Of course, they were tracking our planes because we kept attacking Iraq targets. It has now been alleged that Bush really wanted one to be hit just after 9/11 to provide an excuse to launch his war.
