Brezinski Calls for Obama to Shoot Down Israeli Jets; "A Liberty in Reverse"

In a little noticed interview with the Daily Beast (presumably little noticed because serious people don't read the Daily Beast), Zbigniew Brzezinski suggests that Barack Obama do more than just refuse to support an Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear sites -- the American president must give the order to shoot down Israeli aircraft as they cross Iraqi airspace:

DB: 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?

DB: 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.

Contrary to Brezinski's half-hearted disclaimer that no one wishes for such an outcome, there are plenty on the left who would delight in a pitched battle between the United States and Israel. Democrats in Congress routinely support resolutions affirming Israel's right to take whatever steps it deems necessary to assure its own national defense. And Obama has at least paid lip service to the concept. But hostility to Israel among the rank and file is very real on the left -- and among "realists."

So conjure the image -- the Obama administration sending U.S. aircraft up to protect Iran's airspace and it's nuclear installations from an attack by a democracy that is one of America's closest allies. Unfortunately, this may not be so hard to imagine in Israel, where the number of people who believe Obama is pro-Israel is at just 4 percent -- and falling. And given Obama's (literally) submissive posture to the Saudis, his indulgence of the Iranians, and his simultaneously hard-line approach to Israel, it seems even some of Obama's supporters can savor the possibility of a "reverse Liberty."

The earlier poster indicated that Joe Scarborough and Mika Brizinski have both made anti-semitic statements on the air. I haven't heard them do so.

With respect to Mika, she would defend her father Zbigniew, and that should not be construed as anti-semitism.

Capice?

Also Bryz and Carter drove out the Shah of Iran and put Khomeini in charge of Iran. These clowns help give birth to modern Islamic terrorism !
I often wondered about Z Bryz and his real involvement with
Iran and the Russians !

HIDEOUS DEMONIZED BUSTARD TRAITOR.

Lord, God, please brin him to repentance, move him to an old folks home for alzheimer’s or otherwise take him out of the equation according to your wisdom and justice, Lord.

Amen.

Brezinski’s always been an @ss.

Wrong. I said both Brizinski and his daughter have made anti-Jewish statements.

Please do not twist my statements. Also excusing or apologizing for anti-Semitism just because some one is your father is not OK.

So Z-idiot wants to give Israel every incentive to use nuclear tipped ballistic missiles rather than aircraft delivered conventional weapons to destroy Iran’s nuclear program?

Only a Democrat could be that stupid. Democrats are the only Americans unable to accept the existence of evil or the necessity of winning in war.

The Democrats always think military policy is merely a variant of domestic policy - either pork-barrel spending or armed social work among ungrateful foreigners. Every problem looks like a nail if your only tool is a hammer.

Israel had 15 years of the Oslo Accord’s suicide terrorism to burn that kind of stupidity out of them.

Now we shall see if Democrats can deal with the reality they are spawning.

History has not been kind to those who have sided against Israel.

[csvset]

WTF? That would not turn out well for anyone involved.

[Lawgvr1955]

So we will go to war with Israel?

Did Ziggy forget they are a nuclear power also?

GOD BLESS ISRAEL AND PROTECT HER !!!!

Why does Obama think he can come against the GOD of Israel and expect to win ?

[American Constitutionalist]

The GOD of ISRAEL will have the last say in this dog fight.
It must really be a between a rock and a hard place to be those American pilots who know in their hearts that this is wrong, but, have to obey orders.

[American Constitutionalist]

RealClearPolitics/Obama the first Jewish President ?
Consider the Arab connections, and the black theology groups that believe that the blacks are the " TRUE JEWS "
