I wonder will this give Bush his excuse to attack Iran?

US warplane has been forced to land in Iran after violating Iranian territory, the Iranian semi-official Fars news agency has reported.
The Falcon aircraft entered Iranian airspace from Turkey, flying at low altitude to avoid radar, Fars said.
The agency said it was detected by Iranian fighter jets, which forced it to land at an undisclosed airport.
Passengers included five senior American generals and three civilians, the report said.
The agency said the group was interrogated at the airport and then allowed to leave after it was realised they had entered unintentionally.
More details to follow.

the US already has lots of good reasons.
but alternative energy and space weapons is a better strategy. |

The plane is Hungarian.
Fars' credibility is shot, considering this incident happened on Sept. 30th. 5 American generals on board? You gotta be kidding me. |

| After torture and interrogations were completed, it was clear that they entered [Iranian airspace] unintentionally, with their destination being Afghanistan. |
