heheheh. You mean the United States doesn’t have a monopoly on declaring no-fly zones?
By what right would WE establish a no fly zone over Syria?
He says he thinks it’s possible that Russia would down a U.S. aircraft if it felt its ground forces were threatened.
Wouldn’t any country say that if they felt threatened. More war mongoring. Assad did not invite us. We have no business in Syria. We have no business arming the rebels. We have no business nation building.
obama should quietly “leave the area” Not worth losing a pilot or aircraft.
Obungo or the Hildabeast will get some crap started if it kills them. Frankly, I don’t see that we have any National issues with the Russians.
Call me crazy, but I have this sneaking suspicion that an armed confrontation with Russia does not benefit the American people at this time. A shame our leaders are too stupid to see that.
About a week ago, I believe it was Madam Hillary Benghazi idiotically ranting about wanting a "No Fly Zone" in Syria. This cuts both ways bitch!
Cue Col Kong: “Toe to toe with the rooskies”
Clinton’s no fly zone means certain war, perhaps strategic, existential war with Russia.
James Clapper? The POS who lied to Congress about NSA surveillance and should have been prosecuted? That James Clapper?

I wouldn’t put it past Obama to escalate this “convenient” situation. Start a war, stop an election.
More like: if we establish a no fly zone, we’ll be self-obligated to shoot down any Russian jets, and the site that shot down the jet will be immediately obliterated, and probably several others preemptively. Of course, that touches of WWIII.
Looks like we're about to back into a global war.
From outside of USA, it looks like the U.S. is throwing a massive tantrum like a petulant teenager who has all the power toys and is using whatever s/he can do and find to get their way.
It looks really bad for a superpower, which needs to exercise wisdom, leadership and restraint and recognise that the world doesn’t revolve around the U.S. or what the U.S. wants to dictate to others all the time.
Hillary said in the last debate she wants to implement a no fly zone in Syria.
There is already a NFZ there. It’s too late for another country to try to force a second NFZ on top of it. And of course we have no right and no proper.cause there to begin with. Being the illegal aggressor / mass murderer is not an American value , mr O. At least not in this modern age. A Muslim value. Not American.
Paging General Ripper, paging General Ripper.
