@StateDept screwed up giving US airlines guidance to share flt info w/#China on Air ID zone. Sr WH officials disavow. w/@VP in Asia
@gwbstr thanks - not yet. Some other Sr White House officials saying one hand didn't know what other hand doing #Asia #China Air ID Zone
Reference to this article on U.S. advising U.S. airlines to kowtow to China on the self-proclaimed air defense zone of islands controlled by Japan.
Today the U.S. called on China to rescind the zone.
bttt
bet Fmr @StateDept AsstSec Kurt Campbell wouldn't have issued commercial airline guidance this way. Real frustration in #Japan about it.
kowtow?
doesn’t it just make sense for a civilian airliner to ID themselves to anyone who asks?
WH knows nooooothink and never makes mistakes.
ALWAYS the fault of the other guy.
Hey you White House fools the State Department is part of your Administration. They are YOU. If “one hand didn't know what other hand doing” this means YOU.
Once again the worlds Champion Community Organizer votes Present!
Days AFTER it has been reported in all media markets Obama suddenly decides that - wait a minute - he didn’t know anything about this... and, and it’s all State’s fault. Yeah, that’s the ticket. It’s all State’s fault!
Boy, this guy sure is a loser.
The United States has had an Air Defense Identification Zone around it’s borders for many years. Just look at an aeronautical chart.
we need them on the ground at the southern border
China's Declared ADIZ - Guidance for U.S. Air Carriers
Taken Question
Office of the Spokesperson
Washington, DC
Question Taken at the November 27, 2013 Daily Press Briefing
November 29, 2013
Question: Is there any specific guidance or information we are giving to U.S. carriers operating in China's recently declared Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ)?
Answer: Freedom of overflight and other internationally lawful uses of sea and airspace are essential to prosperity, stability, and security in the Pacific. We remain deeply concerned by China's November 23 declaration of an "East China Sea Air Identification Zone."
The U.S. government generally expects that U.S. carriers operating internationally will operate consistent with NOTAMs (Notices to Airmen) issued by foreign countries. Our expectation of operations by U.S. carriers consistent with NOTAMs does not indicate U.S. government acceptance of China's requirements for operating in the newly declared ADIZ.

we have infants (not) running this country.
What was the sound bite Hugh Hewitt used to play on his show when talking about Democrats and foreign policy?
“I don’t like you because you are going to get us killed!”
You can blame all this Kowtow BS on Admiral Mullen.
For the list

If Sean Hannity hasn’t reported it 0bama hasn’t heard about it.
We have an Air Defense Identification Zone on the ground at the southern border and it’s been there for many, many years. It goes from the surface upward.
KOW-TOW??
Isn’t that term racially insensitive??
Maybe I am missing something, but isn’t the Department of State part of the Obama Administration? Aren’t deficiencies by State, by extensions, deficiencies of the Obama Administration? I mean, would British Petroleum be able to say the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico was the oil platform’s fault, and not their’s?
