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.

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

He really taught Boehner well too.

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.

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...

It appears that Hagel’s statement that the US-Japan mutual defense treaty covers the Senkakus has some teeth to it.

I don’t trust this regime in anything. This could be just another diversion. This rank amateur squatting in the WH will get us into a shooting war before he’s done.

A good thing. But how did they get this past Obama?
He will have to bow 4 extra times now to some Chinese official.

An ELINT mission. The EB-52 carries tons (literally) of electronic intelligence and ECM gear. I’m sure this sortie gave us an update on China’s electronic tactical capabilities.

The B-52 is an extraordinary aircraft.

Good thing we are cutting the hell out out of our strategic forces via the Sequester.

No doubt those B-52’s had a squadron of F-22’s escorting them.

Uh-oh. I hope we won’t have another incident in which our aircraft is “bumped” out of the air and the crew is held hostage while they study the craft’s technology.

Well, I guess, under the Soros Administration, the Chicoms will not need to force the plane down to get all of the secrets, as President Jarrett will give them to the Chicoms willingly.
