#2 Am I just pessimistic here as usual, or is this really political window dressing for the terminally ignorant masses?

But, are you pessimistic enough?

#4 gorb, to answer your questions; yes and yes.

My question is who else in the area is going to be flying jets around? Okay, the baddies have some missles, but there's no other air force around, right? Right, Iran? Right Jordan? Right Turkey?

#5 I read somewhere that the drill lasted for three minutes.

From an An Nahar article on the subject:

Navy Captain Jeff Davis said the test, carried out between one aircraft from each side over south central Syria, lasted three minutes and "met its intended objective."
