Of course our Muslim President will back a Muslim country.
Just read an article that says the pilots were shot dead as they parachuted down.
I’ll bet they did it at the request of our government.
“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.
“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.”
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.
Obama and Turkey’s President cooked this up during the G20 meeting ,they think it will stop Putin bombing their ISIS friends
Global warning is the biggest threat. Perhaps the Russian jet flew too close to the son - of Islam.
Obama is going to start a world war with things like this.
Perhaps Russia has more than a few cruise missiles leftover to launch against Turkey. Do the Russians have neutron atomic bombs?
The US and Russia both would have eavesdropping intelligence about the radio communications from both sides.
There is, no doubt, satellite surveillance of the area particularly after the Russian airliner shootdown.
What will show the truth is Russia's response. Typically they bluster and take a hostile posture as their first reflex. If Russia backs down (goes quiet) within the next few days, I think the evidence supports Turkey's claims.
Make no mistake, Turkey still has a problem either way. Russians never forget and will exact some form of retaliation.
Does this mean Thanksgiving is cancelled?
I think one salient point needs to be taken into consideration. There are no ISIS strongholds near the Syrian border!! This area is controlled by people friendly to our side and fighting against ISIS. So think about this for one second, what are Russian planes doing up in that area? They can only be there to attack rebels fighting against ISIS. Why do so many people on free republic want to believe everything Putin and Russia says? People, get real!! Putin is not to be trusted. He is a dictator and no friend of ours!!
Oh crap, here we go.
I hope Putin bombs a Turkish city over this. We know NATO and Obama wont do anything about it.
