but no jet fighters. would you expect that to change any time soon? >> at this point, probably not. it appears we're providing the backup support and some of the awacs and jamming. but to build this coalition, the president decided to take somewhat of a back seat with regards to this entire operation. let the coalition operation. let the coalition forces such as france and u.k. be out front, potentially arab league forces such as qatar and the emiratees out front. we'll provide the support and the backbone but the vast majority of fighter jets will not be wearing american flags on the left shoulder. >> about the arab participation which is really critical, i know the obama administration said they didn't want to do anything unless some of the arab league countries were involved. you mentioned united arab emirates, qatar.
