PENTAGON Neither Russia nor Iraq warned the United States that cruise missiles had entered Iraqi airspace en route to Syria, a U.S. official told VOA.
Russia said Wednesday that it used four warships in the Caspian Sea to launch rockets at Islamic State targets in Syria. Rockets fired from those ships would have traveled through Iraqi airspace, where U.S. and coalition pilots are conducting anti-Islamic State operations to help Iraqi and Peshmerga forces defeat the extremists.
The official acknowledged to VOA that this is exactly the kind of action that could result in a mishap or misunderstanding.

i’m working on the strongly worded letter right now
JV in the White Hut.
Tell ‘em you’re miffed and perturbed. Deeply perturbed.
I am sure Vlad is losing sleep worrying about what The Obamination will say...
In his dreams with his little stuffed man dolly and jammies with feet on them he pads off to his crib where Val Val his mmommykins can tuck him in
Poor little Barack, no one understands you. Its ok, Val Val is gonna mke it all better and chase away all those icky Republicans!
Mow Barack stop crying, you know it will only get you upset and then you forget what I told you to say, anf that makes me very unhappy, and you don’t like it when I get unhappy do you?
Oh no, I love you and I will do anything in this whole wide world you tell me to do
Thats my good Little boy, now take your partner to bed and get some sleep, we have lots to do tomorrow to keep things moving...
An executive order by Putin apparently.
When confronted with the phrase, “It’s better to ask for forgivness than ask for permission”, Putin chuckles then says, “forgiveness? Eff that.”
Aww, Barack is getting the same treatment he gave to Israel.
When were Israel’s interests taken seriously enough for ANY communication to ever be shared with them, about their own existence threatened, during the Barack-Iran Let’s Nuke Israel Deal?
Obama is so upset he may not bow as low the next time he meets Putin.
Hey Obama, hows that “more flexibility after the election” thing working out for you?
DUH!
Understandable as the Russians do not want obama warning our enemies.
No problem. They are stealth anyhow.
He’s got a pen and a phone, too.
He can still service himself, in any case..
Valerie is pissed she couldn’t warn her brothers.
Putin is eating Obama’s lunch and laughing at him.
As well he should.
Hopefully stamping your feet while doing it. For the full effect.
We abandoned Iraq. Its none of our business.
When did cruise missiles get classified as rockets?
Hopefully, a question now strictly academic to many of the devout in ratholes like Raqqah.
But don't draw any lines in the sand.
