Russian-made MIGs from deposed Libyan leader Col. Moammar Gadhafi were used by an Islamist faction vying for control of the nation’s affairs.

A spokesman for the Libya Dawn coalition said Tuesday that “two or three” jets were used to attack an airstrip occupied by a rival militia in the town of Zintan, The New York Times reported.

Well, isn't that just frikken great?

Should we call this another "GREAT OBAMA FOREIGN POLICY VICTORY!(tm)"?

This has been floating around on twitter for hours now, and CNN hasn’t even mentioned it.
I wonder WHY?

Chalk another one up for the JV team. They have the money for it.

Oh come on, now. Good numbers of high paying airframe mechanic and refueling jobs were created.

I wonder if it was over Macho Grande?

Less than 600 miles to Rome.

How long until there is a bomb laden MiG crashing into St. Peter’s Basilica?

You beat me to it.

The Vatican, less than an hour away. A one way trip.

Good grief — with all our overhead satellite intel, could we not locate each and every Libyan fighter plane and destroy it on the ground?

Remember it was her driving Nero to overthrow Kaddafi.

This was Hillary’s “reset” button that got pushed.

[jmacusa]

Me too. Let them kill each other. The more of their own kind they kill the better for the rest of us.

Here it is, all fixed up and ready to go!

Russian-made MIGs from deposed Libyan leader Col. Moammar Gadhafi were used by an Islamist faction vying for control... A spokesman for the Libya Dawn coalition said Tuesday that "two or three" jets were used to attack an airstrip occupied by a rival militia in the town of Zintan... Operation Dignity, the militia targeted by the Islamist airstrike, has the backing of Libya's internationally recognized government...

IOW, the Islamofascists got help from the outside the 'country'.

As long as they stay in their assigned areas while doing it, yes.
