The Pentagon is telling us to watch the squirrel;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> &#8220;I wouldn&#8217;t read anything into us moving these out of there as any sort of less combat capability that we have within the coalition of being able to strike in Syria,&#8221; said Pentagon spokesman Captain Jeff Davis.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not only about the actual combat air patrols that you fly, it&#8217;s about the fact that you&#8217;re demonstrating the capability to do it,&#8221; Davis said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So what does pulling those fighters out of the region say, then? <\/p>\n<blockquote><p> The other six F-15Es were deployed in a combat mission against Islamic State. The United States had described their deployment as part of an effort to thicken air strikes against Islamic State in Syria.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. military noted that it still had 12 A-10 strike aircraft as well as drone aircraft at Incirlik.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If having 12 fighters sends a message, then pulling those 12 fighters out sends the opposite message, doesn&#8217;t it?
