HONOLULU, Oct. 2 (UPI) -- An undisclosed number of F-22 Raptors of the Hawaii Air National Guard and the U.S. Air Force have been deployed to the Middle East for as long as six months.
The Hawaii Air National Guard, or HIANG, said the deployment of most of the fighters and more than 200 personnel from Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam in Honolulu took place Sept. 26 but was kept secret for security considerations.
The aircraft and personnel are now in an unidentified location in the region, which is in the area of responsibility of the U.S. Central Command.
"Because of security considerations and host nation sensitivities, the HIANG will not release the base nor country where the Raptors are operating from, nor will the HIANG release the number of F-22 fighters that are deployed," it said.

None of that is even remotely vital to the USA...in Syria.
You don’t know what you’re talking about.
Oh please. I wrote the book.
No you didn’t. If you did, you would understand how Syria, Saudi Arabia, the Petrodollar, and Russia are all related.
Oh good grief. “PetroDollar”?!
LOL!
The 1990’s called and want their black helicopters and other grand conspiracy theories back from you.
You are in over your head, cowboy.
There is *NOTHING* in Syria that is vital to the USA at any level, economic or military.
No hidden relationships. No magic “PetroDollars.” No secret pipelines.
Nothing.
The Kurds killed a bunch of ISIS fighters even if Russia and Syria do nothing against them. http://www.syriahr.com/en/2015/10/more-deaths-for-the-islamic-state-in-the-attack-at-mount-abdul-aziz-and-warplanes-shell-jabal-al-turkman/
Grand conspiracy theory? Magic petro dollars? Petrodollars definitely exist friend and they are the only reason our 19 trillion dollars in debt economy hasn’t tanked. Like I said, you do not know what you’re talking about. You didn’t even read the book let alone write it. LOL
You are clueless, yet wordy. Absurdly annoying.
There is *NOTHING* in Syria that is a vital interest to the USA.
Even if your magic “PetroDollars” mattered, which they don't, the entire Syrian economy today is about the size of Rhode Island.
Insignificant.
I would pi** on your shoes while you wear them boy.
Well, you might know how to do that much. Maybe.
and you would stand there at let me.
If the world stopped trading oil in US dollars then all those externally held dollars start coming home to roost.
Economic Armageddon my friend...
The Saudis could agree to trade oil in other currencies any time. This is the sword of Damocles they hold over us. It’s NOT important that we can produce enough oil domestically to supply our needs... we gotta keep those external dollars from coming home!
Even if it was true (doubtful) that the Saudis could switch oil currencies, no one cares.
Oil fracking is here in the USA. The whole OPEC cartel was crushed.
...and none of that has anything to do with USA vital interests in Syria.
The goldbugs are licking their chops at the thought of that.
Lemme know when you wake up from your homoerotic wet dream, kiddie.
Gold is dead. ...and gold has nothing to do with Syria, either.
Let me know when you finally read the book.
So I can give you more cliff notes, I guess...since you’ve botched every aspect of understanding anything about Syria so far.
