Military Times: The U.S. military veered toward declaration of a no-fly zone in Syria Monday, but stopped short of using the controversial term that would set the stage for a direct confrontation with the Syrian Air Force.
"It’s not a no fly zone," Peter Cook, a Defense Department spokesman, told reporters Monday.
"But," he added, "the Syrian regime would be wise to avoid areas where coalition forces have been operating. And we will continue defend them and, if need be, we will send aircraft again to defend our forces."
