MESOP TODAYS QUOTATION : 2. HUH? – Pentagon Boss Believes Russians
Defense Secretary Ashton Carter said, “I take the Russians at their word” after he was asked at a press conference Wednesday whether Moscow was being straightforward about their air strikes in Syria.

Carter continued, saying that the Russians had only said they would deploy and use military force in Syria. http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2015/09/30/pentagon-russia-throws-gasoline-on-the-fire.html?via=newsletter&source=CSPMedition
