Russian entry into Turkish airspace lasted 'seconds'
The United States believes Russia's incursion into Turkish airspace on Tuesday likely lasted only a matter of seconds before Turkey shot down a Russian warplane, a U.S. official said, saying the assessment was based on preliminary indications.
| Seconds? That means the Turks were alert, tracking the aircraft (perhaps from time of take-off from the base in Latakia) and in no mood to tolerate any incursion of any kind. |
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the United States was still investigating the incident.
| Obama can't possibly know what do to here. He doesn't have the experience, moral character or resolve. |
