A senior U.S. official says Russia’s airstrikes in Syria did not appear to be targeting the Islamic State group, but other opposition groups fighting against Syrian President Bashar Assad.
The official said IS militants are not in the western part of the country, beyond Homs, where the Russian strikes were directed.
The official was not authorized to discuss the Russian airstrikes publicly so spoke on condition of anonymity.
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?
