Pretty Fly for a White Guy

Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, a Connecticut independent, who along with Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona, has been calling for a no-flight zone, said Wednesday after Mr. Gates’ testimony: “Is it complicated? Yeah. Can we do it? Of course.” He noted that “we did it for a long time and quite successfully in Iraq."

Oh boy, oh yeah, that really worked out well for everyone involved.

Naturally Mr. Lieberman and Co. agree that the revolutionaries/rebels currently manning the captured AA batteries, will be wiped out by US forces to create said no fly zone, well those are just a few broken eggs in the glorious march of Democracy. Freedom bitches, it ain't pretty, but it is sweet.

That's why Russia vetoed it in the Security Council.

Fuck, Lieberman and McCain view themselves as the new strategerists? Put them in a two-seater with McCain in charge of the take-off and landing from a carrier.

Actually what's funniest about this is that the US lifted its Iraq overflight ban* at precisely the moment it could have done the most good, at the time of the Shi-ite uprising in March 1991.

*Or just failed to apply it to helicopters, depending on who you ask.
