I dare say, I believe our Intel is not up to par at all.
Not to mention the manipulation of it for political purposes.
At this point our best play is to move our forces to a safe distance and hold at station keeping. If something should threaten what is left of our allies in the region we can respond to it from there.
In the meantime...let the Rooskies and their friends bomb the living Shite out of anything they damned well please!
The Turks must be thrilled huh?

The U.S. conducted airstrikes in Syria as planned Wednesday including one near Aleppo, which is in the northwest but not near where the Russians were flying, a U.S. official said.
The official said the Russian officer who notified the U.S. of the strikes said the U.S. should stay out of Syrian airspace and remove any troops it has on the ground working with rebels in Syria.
The U.S. has repeatedly said it has no U.S. military forces on the ground in Syria.
The official was not authorized to discuss the missions publicly so spoke on condition of anonymity.
