assets, no question. i m sure we ll still see massive participation by the u.s. navy. they ve got 15 ships out there. as well as the intelligence system, overhead satellite coverage, et cetera. do you think that the claims of arab support have been exaggerated intentionally, particularly since we hear a good deal of french, british and american engagement, but not much from the arab states? well, up to now, you know, what we see is two gadari fighters finally arriving in theater. i think they ll claim they re going to do air cap which is an almost useless political gesture. remember southern iraq was an air cap and saddam came in and murdered thousands and thousands of people. what these people trying to oust gadhafi is of direct support frurt sophisticated air forces and support from the sea, these tomahawk missiles.
wouldn t we have satellite coverage of what s going on there to see if there actually is violence or any genocide going on? basically he and a group of people link washington, d.c. harvard and a bunch of nonngos basically lease add satellite to monitor what the elections in sudan, and, as you say, to be a kind of global paparazzi. he said if as many people were paying attention to them as they were paying attention to me, they wouldn t do so many bad things. why wouldn t you do it elsewhere in the world that are contested and potentially violet. the man knows about paparazzi. looking at troop movements. right. see if there s violence, if people are able to vote in a way that is fair. and, in fact, i think the satellites go down to something like 30 centimeters, you can see us talking, willie. i don t think that s what they re looking for, rick. you ve done a lot of work in
would not win the president any points for picking an outsider. patti ann: yeah. byron york, of the washington examiner , thank you. gregg: we are seeing a mad dash of holiday shoppers not for post-christmas bargains, no, but for new heating and air-conditioning systems before the stroke of midnight on friday. elizabeth france live in atlanta with more on this elizabeth, explain why these type of systems are really flying off the store shelves and why midnight friday? ah. the well short answer is because that is when the tax credits expire. but elizabeth, we re going to try to get her up and running with the satellite coverage in just a moment. clearly the weather is still disresulting things. patti ann: it certainly is and might have played a role or might not on this terrible accident in sugarloaf mountain up in maine, a ski resort where we have confirmation from a spokesperson at the mountain.
windows or any other details that would confirm this is a plane. we just lost shepard smith on the satellite coverage. it s been take something hits in oxford, mississippi. daniel, thank you very much. while we wait for word on this jet, obviously the passengers families are in limbo right now. when we come back we ll take you to texas, hear from the brother of one man who was onboard the jetliner, and hopefully be back to shep, shepard smith reporting continues in just a moment. live from oxford, mississippi. stick around.
here s what we do know because we have good satellite coverage from that area. when the search start there was a rough storm, so you re getting tough waves, 30 to 40 foot waves. today when daylight gets there it will be a much better day. there s an area of high pressure and you re looking at the general rolling 3 to 4 foot surf there. let me tell you something about high pressure, you re thinking clear skies when you hear that because that s what we ve trained you to think of. think of this zone as having a marine layer. for that think about the california coast for viewers who live there, also the long island coast and places like connecticut, massachusetts shoreline. you know there s this persistent cloud deck, even on a clear day that takes some time to burn off. so for anyone trying to do a visual hunt through there, there s a low cloud deck that s always there and takes time to burn off. exactly as you said, you have two hours to do your business and you have to turn around and f
