Here is what Brzezinski said to the Daily Beast interviewer (my emphasis):

Interviewer: How aggressive can Obama be in insisting to the Israelis that a military strike might be in America’s worst interest?
Brzezinski: We are not exactly impotent little babies. They have to fly over our airspace in Iraq. Are we just going to sit there and watch?

Interviewer: What if they fly over anyway?
Brzezinski: Well, we have to be serious about denying them that right. That means a denial where you aren’t just saying it. If they fly over, you go up and confront them. They have the choice of turning back or not. No one wishes for this but it could be a Liberty in reverse. [Israeli jet fighters and torpedo boats attacked the USS Liberty in international waters, off the Sinai Peninsula, during the Six-Day War in 1967. Israel later claimed the ship was the object of friendly fire.]

Excuse me, Mr. Former National Security Advisor Brzezinski, but that is Iraqi airspace which we have been given access to. It isn't America's. Do you not understand the rights of sovereign nations?

And in the answer to the second question, we got lucky with the Liberty incident -- the Israeli government screwed up and one of their commanders got trigger-happy. Fortunately the incident did not develop into something more serious.

We are not going to plan to attack our allies, sir, just because we don't like what they are doing.

Brzezinski's analysis is 180 degrees out of phase on both the missile shield and the advance planning to fire on our allies. Refer to Mr. Ronald Reagan for the right direction on these issues.

“We are not going to plan to attack our allies, sir, just because we don’t like what they are doing.”

I’m assuming you mean because the present administration doesn’t like what they are doing. I personally would love to see the Israelis turn Iran into a smoldering crater, stopping only to drop any remaining bombs on Damascus on the way home.

They want a holy war? Bring it on. We’ve pussyfooted around with these muslims for far too long.
