To quote the US govt. Check your NYT for the latest on 3 year old memos that said that the US will go to war with Iraq on March 10th regardless if Iraq has WMD or not.
One of the tactics to prove saddam was to paint a US military plane the colors of the UN and prove Iraq by flying it so that it gets shot down.
Talk about a govt that lies, cheats and uses deception to kill its own people.
If they are willing to kill their own people (the pilots of said plane) they will have no problem blowing up a holy muslim shirne to provoke an escalation of racial tension.

The exact text.

The memo also shows that the president and the prime minister acknowledged that no unconventional weapons had been found inside Iraq. Faced with the possibility of not finding any before the planned invasion, Mr. Bush talked about several ways to provoke a confrontation, including a proposal to paint a United States surveillance plane in the colors of the United Nations in hopes of drawing fire, or assassinating Mr. Hussein.

Everybody who wasn't watching Fox knew what Bush had in mind. Similarly Afghanistan was already a target of war well before 9-11. I don't see much "new" news here.
