US Aircraft Carrier to Exercise in Yellow Sea
Al Pessin | The Pentagon05 August 2010
The Pentagon announced Thursday that the U.S. aircraft carrier George Washington will participate in planned exercises with South Korean forces in the Yellow Sea, between the Korean Peninsula and China. The announcement comes in spite of strong objections from China.
Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrell made the announcement, saying the carrier's return to the Yellow Sea will be part of the series of U.S.-South Korean air and naval exercises that started late last month east of the peninsula.
"They will be taking place in both the East and West Sea, in both the Sea of Japan and the Yellow Sea. They will, once again, involve the USS George Washington," said Morrell. "And the USS George Washington will exercise in the Yellow Sea, in the West Sea, but I don't have for you yet dates when that exercise involving that aircraft carrier will take place."

Soon you will be able to conduct war games 1 mile off of San Francisco.
Is it okay for Obama to be a coward in the Yellow Sea?
