I evidently was incorrect when I said in my original post that the US and British are a UN mission. I heard a later report that the UN is not involved. The "no fly" zone was evidently established by the U.S. and G.B., and perhaps the other nations involved in the consortium involved in Desert Storm after that conflict.

Frankly, I think it evidently has just been a slow news day because, in my opinion, the press is way overplaying this incident. Evidently this attack is not that different from others that take place regularly.

No, Kendall, I never quit the Mudcat. I just decided not to participate in further political discussions.
