Brzezinski: U.S. must deny Israel airspace
September 21, 2009
WASHINGTON (JTA) -- Zbigniew Brzezinski said the United States should
make clear that it will attack Israeli jets if they fly over Iraq on
their way to attack Iran.
"We are not exactly impotent little babies," said Brzezinski, national
security adviser during the Carter administration, in an interview
with The Daily Beast Web site when asked how aggressive President
Obama can be in telling Israel that a military strike in Iran is not
in America's interest. "They have to fly over our airspace in Iraq.
Are we just going to sit there and watch?
"We have to be serious about denying them that right," continued
Brzezinski, who endorsed Obama early in the Democratic primary but was
not an official adviser to the campaign. "That means a denial where
you aren't just saying it. If they fly over, you go up and confront
them. They have the choice of turning back or not. No one wishes for
this but it could be a Liberty in reverse."
