No. Syria is an ally of Putin. Syria’s infrastructure is taking the hits. ISIS is not taking the hits.

Don't worry, I'm sure they'll have a press release out saying this was hit due to one of Caliph Obama's inner circle being silly and listening to the military.

Really? You have evidence of any strikes in territory controlled by Assad?

If that were the case, doncha think Assad’s sophisticated anti-aircraft defenses would target American aircraft - instead of remaining silent? If the US is secretly bombing Assad, it’s apparently so secret that even Assad doesn’t seem to be aware of it.

Grain silos are not ISIS.

Russia and Syria are allies.

They are if they're in territory controlled by ISIS.

No they're not. The Russian Government and al-Assad's regime are allies - there's a difference. In case you've been living in a bunker the last 3.5 years, Syria is in the middle of a civil war and much of the country is in the control of groups fighting the regime.

The aircraft may have mistaken the mills and grain storage areas in the northern Syrian town of Manbij for an Islamic State base,?

I've seen a photo of a P-51 attacking a water tower in Germany during WW II because it looked like a flak tower. Mistakes like that do happen.

What better way to destroy this country and control US citizens than if we are at war?

It’s going to be a hungry winter in Syria.

Think? That’s what I expected from the start of this: a while lotta “oops, I missed the terrorist and destroyed Syria’s defenses”.

“...getting Assad to get rid of his WMD...”

Do you mean the WMDs that Saddam Hussein squirreled away in the Bekaa Valley in late 2002?
