Re: Just how would you defeat ISIS?

Dear Brian,

An excess of exclamation marks does not help with careful and reasonable understanding. It does appear that the consequences this time may be significantly different. This is not because of the nationality of those involved, but because the incident is more severe than originally reported:

It appears that a Russian Mi-8 or Mi-17 helicopter was destroyed by a rebel TOW missile on the ground in Syria, close to where the Su-24M was shot down in Turkey. The helicopter crew may have been involved in a search and rescue operation, looking for the bomber's crew. There are reports, understandably very vague ones, that the helicopter crew may have survived the incident. At least one member of the bomber crew has been found dead inside Syria.

Regards,

Paul
