We aren't going to know that...

Okay first have a little faith that these SOF personal are doing a great job and are acting based on the best intel available. You can't honestly think that any officer let alone any General or staff Officer would lay there career on the line to conduct a day time cross border raid into Syria without unbelievably rock solid intel that some serious shithead was in that rat hole.
Secondly screw there sovereignty, war sucks so they can help us end it sooner by getting on our team or getting out of our way. They can take there protest and shove it up their ass. The Syrians have been given amble opportunity to get on the good guys team, but have chosen to, at the very minimum "sit this one out". But more likely they have passively (if not actively) helped Al-Qaida promote and execute their missions against our men and women in uniform.
So again I say screw Syria, oh ya and Pakistan too, while I'm at it; its no secret Al-Qaida has been sleeping their backyard but they don't want to help either.
Just my .02 cents.
