pilots would be scared out of their minds. they wouldn't fly. >> they would think they would be heading to a certain death. i think the white house wouldn't disagree with that. i mean, they're not saying that no-fly zone wouldn't be effective. but it's clear they don't want to go it alone. they understand the problems with the united states. and "b." they believe it's a lot more complicated than senator mccain obviously believes. for example, how do you know how effective it's going to be? what if someone, a rebel is flying an airplane and you shoot down the wrong person? what if gadhafi's forces have surface to air missiles, which there are reports they do. what if we're shot down? are we prepared for an american to be taken hostage in libya right now? and most of all, do we want to intervene in an arab country right now? the third one. would we want to do that alone?
