Iraqi fighter jets violated the southern no fly zone and shot down a U.S. military aircraft reports Fox News.

I wonder if the mainstream (read liberal) press will whitewash this incident like they do everything else, simply because the aircraft was a Predator reconnaissance drone, and not a manned aircraft.

Where will the UN stand on this? After all, the drones are flying over the country looking for signs of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programs. Is this not a material breach to hinder the search for WMD? Do we have to wait until Iraq shoots down a few manned aircraft before we are allowed to act?
