A growing number of Democrats are joining GOP voices in calling for a no-fly zone or a safe zone in Syria where civilians and opposition fighters can go without fear of attack — a step the Obama administration does not back.
The calls come after the spectacle of millions of desperate Syrian refugees fleeing to Europe, and an increasing sense that the Pentagon's program to train moderate rebels is failing.
They continued even after Russian aircraft entered Syrian airspace this week to go after groups fighting Syrian President Bashar Assad, including rebels backed by the U.S.
Former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton on Thursday called for no-fly zones in Syria, breaking with the administration a day after Russian bombs began dropping.
"I personally would be advocating now for a no-fly zone and humanitarian corridors to try to stop the carnage on the ground and from the air, to try to provide some way to stem the flow of refugees," she said an interview with an NBC affiliate.
Clinton’s endorsement of a no-fly zone puts her in line with Republican hawks

“The only way to do it without shooting is to make moves that threaten their economic interests. They like selling natural gas to Europe. We should threaten to get into that business.”
How??
Ships can never supply gas to Europe cheaper than Russia can.
Yes, worse for terrorists...and worse for their lackies such as yourself.
Death to America Iran & their BFF fascist Russia thank you for your support, FRiend.
Like the Iraq/Iran War, I encouraged both sides to bomb each other.
Today, however, you don’t want your poor little terrorist buddies bombed by Russia.
Tsk, tsk.

No, I don’t want Iranian ICBMs aimed at us. Apparently, you are too deep in your game of checkers to war game that one out. A nuclear Iran backed up by fascist Russia are a far great threat to the US than some 7th century jihadi head choppers.
Meh. You are licking your wounds, now running from the Syria debate that you lost (badly!) over to new territory where you are now building a weak straw=man argument about mythical Iranian ICBMs that couldn’t break through USA missile defense layers (we have 3) even if they obtained the range one day.
Nope. I’m multitasking. You should try it sometime, FRiend.
Is that what losers call it these days, “multi-tasking?!”
LOL.
No, thanks.
Appears to me that Russia is setting up that no fly zone.
