dude, Iraq was at war with Iran for over 8 years before the invasion.
Iraq had a potent and dense IADS at the time. Believe what you want....

Shooting from hips?
Just like Brittany Spears "Oops I did it again"
After the triple barrel roll then we open warning fire on the P-8 to make them soil their pants!they coming here to see chinese pilot do triple barrel roll in the next interception
Hawaii, Guam, Saipan, alliances with Japan and the Philippines--we are a Pacific power, and we are not going anywhere. China can recognize this, and work with us through clear and open lines of communication, and we both get richer and prosper. Or China can play chicken with us and see how many times it wins (remind me, what is China winning, exactly?), and what happens when it finally goes too far (remind me, how does China benefit from this outcome?). If buzzing an unarmed spy plane is not a mentally unstable act, you will be able to easily and clearly explain how China benefits from this, especially in the context of the Hainan Island incident. I am open minded and await your response.
China is benefitting immensely from the status quo. It's beyond me why China would prefer a tinderbox scenario to the status quo.
I see zero payoff for China to send a mentally unstable (or incompetent) pilot to do this kind of patrol when we already saw what happened the last time China sent out a mentally unstable/incompetent pilot in 2001.
Suicide in the Military remains near all-time high. More of the same is not the answer.
Despite a growing concern and an increase in anti-suicide programs, the overall number of military suicides has continued to climb at an alarming rate, setting a record in 2012.
Study: Nearly 1-In-5 US Army Soldiers Had Mental Illness Before Enlistment
Nearly one-in-five U.S. soldiers had suffered from a mental illness before enlisting in the Army, and about one-in-ten soldiers had thought about killing themselves prior to enlistment.
I think it was a bad idea in the first place to occupy Iraq, as the United States Army is a professional killing machine, not a nation building force. I am satisfied to hear that our American allies have removed themselves from the Middle East, as their objectives were relatively accomplished.
We send to intercept your spy plane and you start bitching already?Insanity. China can't prohibit that which is legal simply because they are emotional. When Russia sent two Tu-95 Bear H bombers within 50 miles of the California coast last year, did we send a kamikaze pilot to try and take them out? No, we followed intercept protocols and shadowed them until they left. China already had its amateur hour with the first Hainan Island incident in 2001. Another such incident could produce a highly volatile situation.
So much for "a new type of great power relationship."
Foolish Americans endangering the SCS again with their aggressive provocations and usual baseless accussations. Can't let the world be at peace.
