Sounds like it was a stray but Israel meant it when they said they would shoot them down.

If they let one stray go unchallenged, there will be another, then another......

We’re in the early stages of WWIII. Ya know, the point where you say “we’re in the early stages of WWIII” and people dismiss it as hyperbole.

The Syrian Jet strayed into israeli territory. The reason it was up there is the as we bombed inside a sovereign nation(in violation of international law) , Assad attacked the good guy freedom fighters other waise known as the “Doctors and Dentists”. These are thw “white knights” that we were going to train in Saudi Arabia — all 5000— Or what ever is left of them now ( not much I’ll bet) But if we can get them trained in 1 year , they can then fight the 100,000 Islamic State forces hiding in populated areas as our “boots on the ground” door to door in Mosal etc. . Also The Iraqi outpost west of faluja was over run and 400 to 500 were killed yesterday after 10 years of our training. Boots in the ground?

Remember biden mocking Romney by saying he wanted to invade Syria? Remember when obambi mocked Romney about this not "Being the 80's" with respect to dealing with Russia

Make no mistake though, the axis of evil that Bush was slammed for defining, is real and showing it's hand, especially if you recall that ISIS is composed of the Iraqi hardliners.

Japanese style religiofacism, Japanese style solution.

Shake and bake at 20,000 deg from 20,000ft till it glows in the dark.

Well, if I was a Syrian pilot and there were F-22s in the air, I wouldn’t want to be in Syria either. Poor guy probably just forgot to do the wavy-wing thing on his way to defect.
