The RAAF have been involved in strikes against Syrian President Bashar Al Assad troops in Syria.
Reports of between 62 to 83 Syrian Arab Army troops killed resulting in Islamic State militants now completely over-running the area.

ADF have murdered dozens of Assad's soldiers whilst engaging in operations in his country without his approval.
Should Australian troops be operating in Syria without coordination of the democratically elected leader of Syria?

No.
George I was freely elected by the 1701 Parliament and his grandson was terrorised by yanks in a Protestant sectarian revolution against the authorities. Minutemen were civilian colonists who independently organized to form well-prepared militia companies self-trained in weaponry, tactics and military strategies from the American colonial partisan militia during the American Revolutionary War. Burning witches , Redcoats and improvised gunpowder the so-called USA had support from the unelected Louis of Paris and Lebanon.

Hi Everyone.
I probably shouldn't have referred directly to the 'ADF' in my opening statement.
It probably would've been better to say 'US and Coalition forces including Australia'.

The Russians are strongly implying the attack was deliberate.

The US response - well watch it for yourself.

AC,

I don't think Australia should have anybody in Syria. Every time we get involved in some one else's war, we cop "refugees", AKA, opportunist economic, illegal immigrants. All of these failed states should be left to their own devices. There is nothing in their squabbles for us but pain.

Four years back Assad was watching the sky at night for Obama's bombs after Assad crossed the red line by using chemical weapons. Regime change was the game. Now it's apologies , sorry about that , carry on as usual. As the House of Representatives and Senate control Australia then Reps , Senate and PM in Oz also apologise. Obama made us do it , sorry guys. Malcolm will send some chemical-free Barossa valley wines to Damascus as they don't drink beer.

What a load of crap!
Australia (the PM and COS) would have known well before and certainly directly after
that we were dropping bombs or firing rockets at whatever targets in Syria.
Are we supposed to believe that these pilots simply go out and select the targets themselves.
If Australia made a mistake then Australia should own up and pay a few million dollars in
compensation to the Syrian soldiers families.
Then Australia should get the hell out of Syria.
