Maybe President Obama ordered it. Maybe Obama just knew it was coming and decided not to stop it. Maybe Obama was away from his desk, committing some unsavory Islamic act of personal recreation (with a turkey?) just before the Thanksgiving holiday. But on Monday evening, two unarmed B-52 bombers on a training mission flew over the disputed Diaoyu islands in the East China Sea, the area that China just declared over the weekend as a new "Chinese air defense identification zone".

The B-52s did not comply with the stated requirement by the Chinese government that all foreign aircraft declare a flight plan and frequency and provide other information before entering the new "zone"--a requirement that the Obama administration has denounced as an unwarranted escalation of the dispute over these islands between China and Japan.

So who's going to be the first to rant about that p*ssy Obama, and explain that a real "alpha male" like Vladimir Putin would have seen to it that the B-52s carried full bomb loads and dropped their ordinance onto the islands?

Hmmm Hadn't heard about it. So I can't really comment. But, I doubt this happened without Mr. Obama's knowledge. Does that give him any credibility with me? Not really. China is not where he seems to favor. That's not suggesting he's earned any points for foreign policy (or anything else). No, I am not a fan, I admit it. I gave him credit for allowing the Seals to do their jobs a few times believing their actions most likely involved some level of Presidential approval.

Mr. Obama and Congress as a whole have the lowest approval ratings I've ever seen. I don't expect those numbers to improve at least until the next give away/entitlement program increase. Yeah, I'm not a fan but, would need more information before praising or being critical of his leadership. Would seem to me, he's already embarrassed us enough but, that's just me.

Lying sack o' zhit probably planted the story on NBC (Nobama Broadcasting Company) to divert attention away from the disastrous ObamaCare coverage. NBC and most of the mainstream media has been carrying his water since before he got elected.

As the islands are inhabited by Japanese civilians (or Chinese depending on POV), why would anyone bomb them to be macho?

You are nonsensical.

Go play with your islamic turkey.

Reagan must be rolling in his grave watching Barrack destroy the country like he is.

In suggestion as to why Putin granted Snowden asylum.
I disagree as to the why. Even though it is true that the power of the US has waned under Nobama. On many fronts.

So funny.

If the PFF Conservatorium agrees with the action or result, Obama didn't know. However...if the PFF Conservatorium disagrees with the action or result it's Obama's fault.

All is "fair" in politics I suppose.

I have it on good authority that the Chinese have retaliated by delaying a number of Walmart and HF container ships.

If polls come back that the majority of Americans support this action, it will be 0bama's idea.
If not, then he will have learned about it from the news the same time the rest of America did.

Now that there is funny!

Especially with the shopping season coming. Hitting us where it hurts the most!

As to the comments about Obama not knowing: Face it, on any issue where there is any controversy or negative light, Obama tends to plead ignorance on the matter. If this B52 incident spins positive, I've no doubt that he will take credit. If it spins negative, he will claim ignorance, but vow to get to the bottom of it, which of course means that whatever agency was responsible will investigate itself, and find no fault.

I think I could have said that this is a topic that I decided to present (in the way that I presented it) because I wanted to react to some recent and current posts from a particular forum member whose correspondence (in the form of posts) I always like to read and reflect upon. Posts that came up from that member, on a number of different topics here.

That seems legit, to me.

Swap the Conservatives with Liberals and Obama with Bush Jr. and you still have a true statement, except many of them still blame Bush Jr. for things happening under Obamas watch. However to be fair, once Obama is out of office I'm sure he will be receiving blame for economic woes among MANY other things for years to come. I find it funny that you should make such a comment when only one person suggested that " maybe Obama didn't know about it " in a sarcastic way refrencing other things he supposedly " didn't know about ".

To me, it was more of a jab at Obamas continual supposed ignorance of things happening in his administration more than a accusation that he didn't know about this specific action.

But,

Why would anyone expect the Chinese to complain? They probably own those B-52s.

I guess that answers my question.





No it was you who did the original ranting in reality, now wasn't it, and to be honest who gives a flying Fk? the idiot in charge has been trying to destroy this country ever since his first day in office. this is not news to me, matter of fact I read it early this morning and was going to post a thread about it but was afraid you would be the first one to say I was doing nothing but Obama Bashing.

So there

This ^^^^

Countries cant just arbitrarily declare what is their territorial space. There are international laws. Airspace is just like oceans. There is a nationally recognized area along shores that are recognized internationally. Past that is open international water. Same for airspace. ie/ US cant say on a whim that water surrounding Hawai 1000 miles out is now US airspace.
