Who knows... seems like they're enough propaganda on their own.

Out of curiosity, how did the story about the stopwatch and small arms go? The F/A117 was shot down by a Soviet SAM radar battery (as you'd imagine in that part of the world)...though was bound to happen sooner or later with the amount of AA they throw at those things.
I've seen a 117 fly overhead in the day time...twice (double flyover)....beautiful planes...very strange indeed. Was supposed to have seen the B2 in 2002 but it was being prepared to bomb Iraq.
edit: Actually, the last line should read "was being prepared to POSSIBLY bomb Iraq". Otherwise conspirators will say the Iraq War was a forgone conclusion in 2002...
