@jackserle Interesting. But I don't follow what you mean? Please elaborate (extra challenge: in 140 characters) -
@ayaelb Iraqi airspace open to US jets/drones/choppers. Syria isn’t. In part because Russian-made S-300s would/could shoot down US aircraft. -
@jackserle gotcha. Those points not addressed here: http://mobile.nytimes.com/2014/06/18/opinion/dont-fight-in-iraq-and-ignore-syria.html?_r=0&referrer= … -
@ayaelb Interesting. My point is only part of calculation. No one in US wants to see body bags fly in from ME & drones are useless 1/2 -
@ayaelb against sophisticated air defences. But US has cruise missiles so could still launch limited strikes on ISIS/AQ in Syria. 2/2
