Cole writes: "Israel shot down a Syrian MiG fighter jet on Tuesday, saying it had penetrated into Israeli airspace over the Golan Heights.

Enough
Ben Protess and Aaron M. Kessler, The New York Times
Excerpt: "One might call it 'chutzpah,' as several irate lawmakers did, or 'rubbing salt in the wounds' of the American taxpayer.
