This is just a theory but is it possible that Obama sent these 50 Americans into Syria along side the "good Muslims" that are against the government in Syria to protect them from the Russians? With reports of Russian aircraft attacking these "friendly muslims" would it surprise anyone. I am sure the Russians would fear bombing and killing these 50 Americans as it would create a mess for them. If this thought is accurate is it any different than our enemy building a military base next to a hospital?
