But could they please ask for permission next time? /sarc
WTF? Bush better teach them how unacceptable this is before McCain or Hillary gets in.
We were doing this stuff 50 years ago over the Arctic. No big deal. Its just gamesmanship. Russia trying to reassert itself while we are bogged down in the ME and with elections.
Lock weapons on them!
Give ‘em a bit of a scare!
“U.S. defense officials on Wednesday said they did not consider the Russian bomber flight a threat or concern.”
..... as they slap up a map to point and advise “we could have shot them down here, and here, and here, and here, and here.......”
Ping.
ping!
I think one of our anti-aircraft missiles ought to do a final flyby on one of those bombers. That’ll get their attention...

Our so-called friends.
Bush looks like an ever bigger fool as the days pass.
Russians are hopeless.
Maverick in TOP GUN needs to give them the finger at a distance of 3 meters.
If we put the mullahs in Iran down, Russia will back off.
The next thing Putin will do is to send 2 TU-95 Bears flying down the East coast and have them land in Cuba, as they did during the Cold War, then continue their flight to visit their new friend in Venezuela, Loco Chavez.
If you want to have a view of how life was in a Soviet Bear airbase, read “BEAR, Flight to Liberty,” a novel about how the crew of one of those giants planned and effected their escape from the USSR to Canada in August 1976. You can get it from amazon.com or barnesandnoble.com
We found them all the time but couldn’t catch them in our P-3B (the Bear is 100 knots faster and can fly 10,000 feet higher. On the downside, the Bear makes most crew go deaf, so there!).
