In response to Carl Hackert's comment, the only air-to-air
kill of the Libyan conflict was scored by a French AF Rafale
fighter against a ( likely unarmed) Libyan trainer.

I watched another video on YouTube of some Libyan rebel
cameraman going over the wreckage of another Libyan warplane
trying to claim that Russian writing on the aircraft was
actually Hebrew, to insinuate that their was some conspiracy
between Israel and the West to crush the revolution.
Ironically; we're now helping these people and Khadafi is
saying it's the other way around!
President Obama didn't say anything or intervene to help the
Iranian protestors under the pretext that it would appear to
be a conspiracy against the Iranian government (which he is
willing to negotiate with without preconditions) yet, they
accused us of that anyway. Now, our president is openly
championing a revolution by a group with questionable ties
regardless of what the leader opposing them says.

The USA is now into a 3rd war in the Middle East with a no-fly
zone and cruise missile strikes against Libyan forces.
Hopefully this will end quickly and no Americans will die. Was
it rebel ground fire or American forces that took out this
MIG? This is a great photo just before impact.
