 merrie says: In an interview with the Daily Beast, Brzezinski was quoted as saying, "They have to fly over our air space in Iraq. Are we just going to sit there and watch?" Currently a professor of American foreign policy at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies in Maryland, the former White House official added, "We have to be serious about denying them that right. If they fly over, you go up and confront them. They have the choice of turning back, or not." Lt.-Gen. Ashkenazi maintained, however, that Israel will do whatever is necessary to defend itself when the time comes. "Israel has the right to defend itself, and all options are open," said the IDF Chief of Staff. "The IDF's working premise is that we have to be prepared for that possibility, and that is exactly what we are doing." With regard to the cooperation between the IDF and the U.S. Armed Forces that would be essential should military intervention become necessary, Ashkenazi said that “professional and productive cooperation” exists between the two forces. “We have a special relationship with the United States,” IDF Chief of Staff said, adding that he also has a strong personal relationship with Admiral Michael Mullen, the Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff.

They have the choice of turning back or not. No one wishes for this but it could be a Liberty in reverse. Gold...
