    Reuters is reporting US military officials stating the Russian SU-24 was in Turkish airspace for "a few seconds". How did Turkey warn the SU-24 pilot 10 times in a few seconds? Hmmmm something doesn't add up.
    Furthermore, what's wrong with escorting a foreign fighter out of your airspace rather than blowing it out of the sky? Especially when the foreign fighter was attacking rebels on the Syrian side of the border. Maybe Turkey was upset the Russians were attacking their proxy Syrian rebels who help funnel the lucrative ISIS oil across the border into Turkey.
