    Our Secretary of Defense stated that in order to enforce a no-fly zone we would have to bomb targets well ahead of time. Were they just not paying attention? Its not like he tried to hide that from them. They are trying to have it both ways, and that is yet another reason that we should not have gotten involved.

    • Hell the confused messages coming out of the Administration wrt the objectives is the main reason that the Obama should have gone with his natural instinct and voted present on this issue.

        Precisely. It is time the arab league takes a real stand on this issue.

        In on a more general note:

        Either you (= Arab League) support democratic reforms () or you save your dictatorial ass by being against everything that is Westernized. Since we all know how much they care for the freedom of their citizens, **** them.

            Ghaddafi should go. Then his £1-10 bn in assets can be appropriated without consequence and so reduce UK taxpayer burdens.

                They sure do. The odds of it happening simply during one of the actual times they're being used in combat, though.......

                • Shocking that something mechanical would malfunction while being in use.

                  • You seem to think fighter planes are only flown every couple years when the US decides to attack someone...

                      • Do you think it's unprecedented that the US claims a mechanical fault for the downing of an airplane when it was actually shot down?

                        • DD, my advice is don't even bother with him.

                              Another witness saw the flaming plane crash into the field. "We didn't hear any shots, it just fell from the sky by itself and then there was a big explosion," said Mohamed Breek

                                Yes, it is quite shocking that there were no guns fired at the F-15. I certainly would have expected a gunshot at low altitude, within vision range of farmers, to bring it down. I'm certain it's impossible for a SAM to detonate within proximity to the F-15, causing it to become uncontrollable and crash not unlike the F-117A in Kosovo.
