20 hours to get one F-16 to Libya! What a steaming pile.

It doesnt take that long to fly from here...
I just checked
out of Atlanta by Newark NJ and Istanbul to Benghazi by regular commercial plane...
15 hours flying time...
NO counter terorism or fest(?) rapid response? called in.
There was one report (I think it was from Michelle Malkin) that a DRONE operator was telling what he saw from video from the drone he was operating.
If that is true, the drone would have carried weapons.
Finally, we should have had a Carrier Task Force somewhere in striking range...
Forget F-16's. Think F-18's.
