So the fact that Turkey is hosting the CIA training camps from where the mercenaries (FSA, Al Qaida, or whatever the fuck they choose to call themselves) cross over to wreak their murderous havoc on the Syrian people, is to be discounted from the equation? Just because war has not been declared against Syria doesn't mean that Syria isn't fighting one. So an incursion by an airplane from a hostile country should of course be met with an appropriate response. They were probing Syrian air defenses.

No hint of hypocrisy. British pilots were shooting down bombers with clear intent of carpet bombing British cities AND it was during a mutual declaration of war...

Thank you Amy!!

Rasmussen, where is your apology to what your NATO did to Libya?? Where are you at now? You want to move your murder machines to Syria.

06:23. I guess those Battle of Britain pilots weren't heroes after all then, and would have been condemned "in the strongest terms" by this NATO spokesman too? Since when has defending your airspace against incursions by hostile aircraft been viewed as "unacceptable", to exemplify "a disregard for international norms, peace, security and human life..."

Sheer hypocrisy.
