was wondering thew same thing 

also: Another breaking news update from CNN: -- U.S., British ships fire 110 Tomahawk missiles on Libya, Pentagon says.

didn't realize we had that much firepower in the area

You've got a clearer uninterrupted view of it, if it's the same kill, at the BBC link above.  I didn't stick my nose to the monitor, but didn't notice any chute.

[Ack-Ack]

According a report I just saw on BBC-America, the opposition group's spokesman confirmed it was a rebel MiG 23 that was shot down by a SAM over Benghazi.

ack-ack

Was there any confirmation about the reports of Libyan pilots intentionally botching drops on their targets? If so, it would be unfortunate that the air force ends up bearing the brunt of this intervention.

[Ack-Ack]

It's going to be a turkey shoot, that's for sure.  The Russians analysis of Libyan pilots was that the pilots were not trained for high-G maneuvers and had troubles performing them in flight.  It's like the Libyans are flying with stall limiter turned on.

ack-ack

so it's basically like our Air Force vs the Iraqis again?

Really late ejection. Doubt he made it.

If we keep this up the Libyan armed forces will be switching sides faster than Rooks when Bishes are rolling the map.
