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 Americas 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 arent 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."

I post what I post keeping in mind what is classified and what is not. I would never divulge classified info. I do appreciate your concern, but I and many other officers feel we’re rapidly reaching a tipping point and the time for standing by and staying quiet while it sorts out has passed. I stand by my words and will take the consequences. The majority of my brother and sister officers feel the same.

I agree: I've never heard either Joe Scarborough or Mika Brzezinski make any anti-semitic statements on the air.
Separately, I've always questioned Scarborough's bona fides as a conservative for his teaming up with her on a left-wing TV outlet.

Contrary to Brzezinski, Israel does not have to fly over Iraqi airspace to bomb Iran's nuclear installations. I recall seeing a map a while back showing several possible alternative Israeli air routes for such a mission.
The mere fact the Brzezinski would even conjure up the thought of the US attacking Israel indicates how demented and biased he is.

I agree with you here. I also believe that if Obumbo’s upside down admin even lifts so much as a finger to harm Israelis, it will be the last finger they lift...as far as the American people are concerned.

The mere fact the Brzezinski would even conjure up the thought of the US attacking Israel indicates how demented and biased he is. He's hoping against hope for Israel's demise. Not only doesn't Israel have to fly over Iraq, under the status of forces agreement Iraq has to request our help, Iraqi airspace is Iraqi airspace, not American.

Here was one of my more provocative ones, utilizing Israel's fast-growing alliance with India...

“Id like to think that Emanuel would have enough love for Israel somewhere deep in his chest cavity to keep such a thing from ever happening.”
Nonsense. He is motivated by hatred of his father, and thus Israel.

“The military would most likely not obey it.”
I am a former IAF personnel, and know many USA pilots. Good friends.
This has been a matter of discussion.
I suspect, when it comes down to it, your pilots will reluctantly follow orders, and we will reluctantly kill each other.

There are other routes, but they are long, hard, and troublesome.
A fly-over via Iraq would be much, much easier.
