#2 thx Sherry. My comments were no more insightful than the usual RBers, but why would we being doing this (if we did, it is AP) unless there was a rewarding goal at the end? High-val target, or never happened?

#3 So. How did some non-military (presumably) witnesses know these were US troops and aircraft?
Was this so routine there was no attempt to black out various identifiable markings? If so....
Or did it happen at all?
Or did the Israelis do it?
Or did the Syrians do it in order to create a "situation" of some kind?
To repeat, How did anybody know these were US troops?

#4 Now that more info has come out, it appears that the US WANTS the bad guys to know who they're facing.
