Not gonna subscribe to the WSJ, but from what I can read maybe we’ll have to give a cookie to the Obama Administration on this one.

Good, But we should go ahead and raise the import tariffs and get a lot less dependent on China.

The more aggressive china acts, the more important that we disentangle ourselves from them.

Just because you call it an air defense zone doesn’t mean you are prepared to defend it. The US would know if China had radar and defense assets up. They probably didn’t, hence the fly over.

Safe play and good PR from Barack Hussein Chamberlain.

Oh wait. Another excuse argument for Obama to go and surrender in the end.

He really taught Boehner well too.

Bingo. Another America mea culpa opportunity missed for the Chinese. Obama is begging for a pimp. His own head in his a$sl$ is toonhard by himself.

“But we should go ahead and raise the import tariffs”

You are in favor of raising taxes? No thanks.

No one if forcing anybody to buy Chinese products.

This situation is more dangerous than anything in the Mid-East.

WHY? Because the community-organizer in Chief has zero experience dealing with China and Japan. China is simply off his naive, inexperienced American-leftist radar. There are no applicable progressive slogans or soundbites to use, nor is there a Chicago Politics play-book for him to refer to.

We got a taste of it with his interactions with Putin over Syria.

It was Air Defense Identification Zone and did these aircraft ID themselves or not? I’m guessing not.

“This situation is more dangerous than anything in the Mid-East.”

Dangerous for China. They are playing with fire messing with the Japanese.

If they keep this up, Japan will go back to Nanking to rape it again.

Since we have a treaty with Japan...this is a token reponse...

Which is better than the normal reponse....which would be to throw Japanunder the big Obama bus...
