Middle East Perspectives by Rick Francona: Why is American airpower not stopping ISIS?

Middle East Perspectives by Rick Francona: Libya: No Fly Zone or Qadhafi
http://francona.blogspot.com/2011/03/libya-no-fly-zone-or-qadhafi.html
Lt Col Rick Francona, USAF (Ret). March 8, 2011. Libya: No Fly Zone or Qadhafi. This should be read in conjunction with my earlier. No-Fly Zone Libya - some considerations.
