The funny thing is Putin looks good because he's attacking ISIS - something US isn't really bothered about. The US went into Syria on the purpose of attacking ISIS but with the real agenda of removing Assad. So now Russia looks good by saying they're attacking ISIS when they knew all along they were in ISIS to defend Assad from the US/rebels.
Putin has way out manoeuvred Washington so this is why the US is now pissed off.
They could never admit they were going for another bout of regime change - the Wolfowitz doctrine. This short speech from Wesley Clark on US foreign policy is very telling:
"Wolfowitz and Cheney and Rumsfeld. They wanted us to de-stabilize the middle east. Turn it upside down. Make it under our control."
"They could hardly wait to finish Iraq, so they could move into Syria."
