Actually, Daley makes sense. A lot of folks don’t know that imposing a no fly zone implies combat with Libyan jets if they decide to contest it. Not really a problem for our guys but a lot of people who should know better think it’s like shutting down their ATC by sending them a nasty note.
I don’t disagree with that. It’s not what Daley said, it’s how he said it. Same for that metrosexual snot, Jay Carney.
Correct. And before we could even get that far, we have to 'neutralize' (i.e. blow the s*** out of) all of their ground-to-air defense systems.
If you remember, back in 1986 when Reagan went after them, they were able to shoot down one of our F-111s. I would not underestimate their ability. Establishing a no-fly zone there is not a trivial exercise. It will cost a lot of money, and quite possibly American blood.
