We still have the Burbans though, Taholes, and rest of the fleet......if the manifold bolts don't all break or they catch on fire from crappy wiring.....

How many volunteers do you think they will have to take that plane up if the runway is intact?samhill wrote:If they do decide to help out just bomb the crap out of the military runways, kinda hard to take off a fighter jet without a runway.

I don`t think being a volunteer has any thing to do with it, if one says no you shoot him & ask the next. I`m reasonably sure he`ll get in that jet. They are using them every day now, I`ve been in one & wouldn`t want to attempt to take off on dirt or grass yet alone a busted up concrete runway, they just aren`t designed for that. Like I said IMO the biggest thing is to keep our ground troops out of there. A little helping bomb or missile wouldn`t be too bad but lets face it we don`t have the troops. Freedom is much sweeter if you earned it yourself.
"President Barack Obama declared as he authorized $15 million in new humanitarian aid to assist and evacuate people fleeing the fighting."
"The president spoke as U.S. military planes shuttled between Europe and Tunisia, ferrying in supplies and taking out some of the hundreds of thousands of people who have fled across the Libyan border. As international humanitarian efforts stepped up, Obama said NATO was consulting about "a wide range of potential options, including potential military options, in response to the violence that continues to take place inside of Libya.""
