Syria doesn’t mind
“Syria doesn’t mind”
I don’t know its current state, but Syria had Russia’s most up-to-date anti-air systems. I read they could shoot down F-16’s flying low. Israel has been launching glider bombs from Lebanese air space. But ISIS is in the other side of Syria. So, air missions would be fraught with danger to the pilots and political risk for the president. (He’s not a big political risk taker.) I suppose drones are an option, but what is really needed if we’re serious is troops on the ground. I’d say, hell no!
Also, we can’t count on Turkey who is clearly supporting ISIS. As a matter of fact, we should be clearing out of Turkey so we don’t lose people and equipment when the finally declare their real intentions.
