Just read an article that says the pilots were shot dead as they parachuted down.

Turks are now claiming the pilots are alive and want to make a trade
Maybe one of them survived but pictures of the other one he sure is dead with chants of aloha Snackbar over his body

“They assert Mr. Putin is mostly bombing moderate rebel groups opposed to Mr. Assad and devoting little time to the Islamic State terror army.”

If that was true, then why did Isis take down the Russian airline?

Given that at least one analysis of the flight put the Russians over disputed territory for less than 30 seconds, multiple Turkish warnings is a great exaggeration or outright lie

Is this Colonel reporting true facts? . . . or following orders from his commander-in-chief.

The problem with this administration - there is no longer a sense of trust.

Yes, and this is sure to be an issue in ramping up the crisis. The shooters were allegedly members of the 10th Brigade, Turkmen who fight with the Free Syrian Army rebels who are backed by the US.

“These things are not as clean as they are in the movies.”

All the more reason to not let some trigger happy Turk to start WW-III.

“The U.S. sent F-15C air superiority jets to Turkey to help it patrol and defend its air space. Col. Warren said no F-15 was in the vicinity.”

Liars.

Everyone involved, that is. The Pentagon, Obama, Putin, the Turks, the Syrians, etc. I doubt if we peasants will ever know exactly what happened here.

Global warning is the biggest threat. Perhaps the Russian jet flew too close to the son - of Islam.

Especially if he wants that country to turn into another Syria/Libya model of Social Engineering that he and his old friend George love so much.
