| Iraqi Firings: Since U.N. Security Council resolution 1441 was passed on Nov. 8, 2002, Iraqi forces have fired on U.S and British pilots 264 times. In addition to actual firings, Iraq has "painted" coalition aircraft with radars countless times. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has said that Iraq is the only place in the world where U.S. pilots are routinely fired upon. |
