Standoff for now. With the Beijing Olympics around the corner, The Chicoms think they can posture arrogantly and we wont do a thing, BUT after the Olympics, let’s see them pull it off again.

A blind man deaf in one ear and with only 10% hearing in the other could tell where we’re headed with China. Perhaps we should find and vote for one next time around.
When is the collective leadership of the United States going to pull it’s head out and deal in and adult manor with China?

Gee, and to think, I had a chance to visit the PRC's
Shenzen right here in Tokyo, at Harumi, in December, but passed it up.
Knowing that now in retrospect, I would have gladly gone and left some, er, some US souvenirs in the form of rakugaki on board her.

CONGRESSMAN DUNCAN HUNTER (as you may have been following) is
a) number one, the only guy talking about this kind of crap who is running for President;
and
b) number two, actually knows what he is talking about--doesnt need to be scripted by handlers or crash-briefed by newly hired foreign policy assistants--and what to do about it.
Average Americans [not necessarily Freeper] overall are pretty asleep-at-the-switch re: Asia again if they are going to completely forget t Peoples' Republic of China and the coming war with the United States, right here in Asia, in favor of other topics such as Britney Spears and who won "American Idol".

Between watching Spears’ antics and nervously tracking their 401K value and mortgage rate, they got their mind full, I guess.:-)

Do you know Lee Myunk-bak disbanded Unification Ministry and Education Ministry in S. Korea?
Unification Ministry will be absorbed into Foreign Ministry.
And this is the kicker: Education Ministry will be absorbed by Ministry of Science and Technology. Much of Education Ministry's power will be shifted to local Education Boards. What is left afterward will be a fraction of what it was, which is to be taken over by Ministry of Science and Technology.
This is something I can agree with.
The problem is other stuffs Lee is cooking: Grand Canal Project; his corruption and total lack of scruples. He is a typical shady construction businessman at heart.

Sounds like a mixed bag over there!
As long as Kim Jong il is pissed off about the new Lee Administration coming up in Seoul, it will be a positive in my book.
But they might just talk pissed off on the surface, and still cut all the nasty dark deals behind the surface like they did with Roh Mu Hyon.

Right. He is a master of shady under-the-table deals. His talk is just a talk. Until he acts, never trust him.
The thing to watch is the legislative election in April. If his party gets a safe majority, he will show what he is really about. Right now, except things universally popular, he stays more or less neutral, including N. Korea policy. He talks in all directions when it comes to N. Korea.

Tying up our resources while we are at war, must be another Pelosi, Reid, Murtha, Klobachar, Democrat supporter.

I don’t see what the problem is frankly. The US ships were operating in international waters. So was the Chinese submarine. Don’t they have a right to tail a ship passing close to their territorial waters? We do it all the time. Any Russian or Chinese submarine operating in blue waters will have a US hunter/killer sub tracking it will it not?

This was the first military standoff between U.S. and China since the Taiwan Strait Crisis in 1996. I guess they forgot about this little incident:
"You apologize for your turboprop hitting our supersonic jet fighter! You Kowtow!"
By the way, I thought that EP-3 crew acted shamefully, and I was appalled they were given a heroes welcome.
