Well depends, if the guns were AK's and 9mm's I seriously doubt they would shoot down a plane or even threaten one.
However if they were shooting off anti-aircraft missiles then.....
That said any Iraqi firing close to the Syria border should know that that will peak our attention, and we will react. My gut instinct is it is a setup to play on the world's emotions and further show the US in a bad light.
Whether people want to face it or not this is Vietnam all over again. Our men and women over there are not facing a traditional army they are facing women and children who have guns, and even supposed "friends" who don't want us there and would turn on us the second someone else took power. But worst of all, like VietNam, we lack any true plan to get out peacefully.
