| UN gave Iraq 48 hours warning before U2 spy plane flights began |

| The UN warned Iraq 48 hours before American U2 spy planes took off for their flights over Iraqi territory in support of UN weapons inspectors. A spokesman for the UN weapons inspections team in Iraq said that the U2 flights started yesterday, but according to an Iraqi request, the UN gave Iraqi authorities two days advance notice before the spy planes took off, reports Israel Radio. Boy, I guess the UN really, really doesn't want the U2 to find anything, do they? |

| #5 Clearly this is a typo. The UN warned Iraq that they had 48 hours before U2 frontman Bono was to be nominated for a Noble Prize and Saddam only had a short while to do something really anti-American to ensure he was also nominated. The confusion over the message may have caused Saddam his nomination and only increases the likelyhood of war as he tries to for the write in vote by thinking up something particularly vile. |
