Now that’s a real positive move! I’m glad he’s taking strong action.
I know that a number of previous posters have said that he wouldn’t take strong action — but it’s happening and that’s positive. Don’t let those Chinese run us out of International waters....
Ahhhh Gaaawwwd, it figures you would post something like that...shew, shew, GO AWAY
If we get “scraped’ a 2nd time, I would like to know what this doofus intends to do.
Mehtinks it’s the Naval and Pentagon brass who overrode O’s decision NOT to retaliate.
Umm, do you remember what Biden said about the crisis that was gonna happen (be made to happen)? Well guess what this is. How about a dumbass idea like picking a fight with China!
Keep telling yourself that. The Chinese own nobama, you think this nothing but mere charades?

I'll believe it's happening when he forces China to back down. Pulling back your coat to reveal your gun, even drawing your gun, doesn't do a damn bit of good unless you are fully ready and willing to pull the trigger if necessary.
Personally, I have no confidence that he is willing to pull the trigger. My guess is that there will be a mid-stakes showdown, a lot of sabre rattling, then a behind the scenes aquiecense (sp?) that lets both sides walk away with their own talking points about how they won.
Problem is, that China need not win outright - they win with a draw. If they sucessfully stare us down and walk away without a black eye they have won, plain and simple.
They know that, O doesn't get it. He won't even learn from GW's mistake (my opinion) with the air crew.
Chinese are already out of the area. Our ships will go there and the Chines subs will follow them.
You know, normally I would agree with you, but if some guerilla warfare in Afghanistan is causing Obama to negotiate a surrender, are you confidant in his ability to go to war with CHINA? Who has Russia in it’s back pocket? The Russia who has Iran in it’s back pocket?
We will virtually be the only continent on our side because Russia will block oil to Europe, they’ll be begging us to surrender. Iran will have the middle east in a frenzy against us and China is just HUGE.
Not a war I want him to get ballsy in, you know?
