US should down Israeli jets if they attack Iran nuke sites, says ex- NSA

Washington, Sep.21 (ANI): Former US national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski has urged US President Barack Obama to spell out clearly that the US Air Force will shoot down Israeli jets if they attack Iran's nuclear facilities via Iraqi airspace.

"We are not exactly impotent little babies. 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. 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," the Jerusalem Post quoted Brzezinski as telling The Daily Beast in an interview published Sunday. (ANI)
