Joe stop Trolling. Unfortunately you may have forgot all the cock and bull that got us into Iraq and now people are falling back into the lies and propoganda concerning Iran. Also you don't know the first thing when it comes to Gaddaffi or Libya. That country is destroyed and the rebels that are fighting are no better than a dark age malitia. Anyways great job to that pilot, he accomplished an amazing task.

Regardless of creed, nation or otherwise, an exceptional piloting skill remains an exceptional piloting skill. Well done Mr. Pilot and crew. What a great landing and welcome back to terra firma.
