US/Iran aggro.

US plane has been forced to land in Iran after overflying Iranian airspace.

Can we afford another war at the moment?

it improved the german econamy

war is good for business. Would mean the US industry will be in full swing pumping out missiles, guns, ammo etc and would create a fair bit of unemployment.

Sad but true

[superkartracer]

O dear.... what plane was it?

[drivin_me_nuts]

nothing like a war to focus the minds of a depressed nation on something positive. In a recent survey for our magazine 8 out of 10 struggling democracies who expressed a preference were quoted as saying 'War, what is it good for?' ... absolutely nothing.

Anyone know the type of aircraft involved yet?

[playerone]

I wonder if the pilot will get a badly fitting suit and a cup of mint tea like the Brit navy people.

aparently, all US planes are accounted for and non are in Iran!!! Genuine mistake about flying into irans terratory, but non have been forced ot land!

War is over before it began, pilots and plane allowed to leave.

Slow news day methinks. Was getting rather fed up of credit crunch chatter, was even contemplating having a laugh at Jeremy Kyle! I hate being off ill!

[Tony*T3]

Apparantly allowed to leave. Plane carried 5 generals...???

No war.

[Mc Lovin]

pffft.

[SirTainly]

Dassault Falcon a "warplane"???? LOL

[MrVelox]

I think it was a Delta or Continental jet had to make an emergency landing there a year or two ago, they let it land, it checked out OK, it departed very quickly.
