I imagine that the US will send a single Apache operating from a ship of the coast to rescue the downed pilot and fire a couple of hellfires into the aircraft in order to destroy any sensitive equipment onboard...

Wow what was that game I used to play it loads !
On a more serious note are the crew safe, I hope so ? Has Gadaafi ranted that it constitutes a violation of the no troops on the ground decry from the UN?

(Libya is only 2% of world production, but a handy scare for whacking up the price of fuel. Anyone notice the 1p cut today? I didn't.)

Overall yes, but apparently they produce something like 8.8% of light crude that is used to make petrol and other high quality stuff. Amazing the crap you find out when you're trying to research whether the remaining domestic heating oil in your tank might last long enough for the prices to drop.
