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.

US Naval forces in the Persian Gulf would replace US forces in Iraq in Brezinski’s scenario.

This could get ugly very fast. Would Obama shoot down israeli jets? I believe he would. If he could he would bomb israeli air fields and take out the jets before they take off.
Mossad , are you listening? Send your mechanics . Something needs fixing .
Brzezinski is a Jew-hating piece of garbage.
He set loose the Iranian lunatics on the world once before, under Carter.
If he had his way we would nuke Israel ourselves simply to spare the ayatollahs the headache.
Gutless crypto-fascist backstabbing scum.
Well now we know where his daughter (Mika) gets her left wing extremist views from.
This anti-American nazi has been trying to kill the Jews too for years. Why is he still around anyway?
Brzezinski....Jimmy Carter
Need I say more?
A few years ago Brezinski called for a US occupation of Israel to enforce fairness. It was generally taken as a warning by the government to Israel. This is probably of a like nature.
Brezinksky and his seedling Mika need a show of their own.... in Tehran.
Obama would shoot down Israeli jets.
Obama would/will do it if he thought he could get away with it
Brezinski has been used to float trial balloons before.
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.Another Carter administration/Demagogic Party success story. Thanks xzins.
Brzezinski gives Poland a Bad Name.
Brezinski was always trying to one-up Kissinger. He SOOOOO much wanted to be considered “weighty”. All he ever achieved was “wobbly”.
Don’t these old commie couts ever die?
I saw a report last week that ended with a suggestion that the US fleet would intercept Israeli planes. Wish I could find it. It wasn’t Debka.
