AP sources: Russian subs patrolling off East Coast - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_russian_subs - broken link)
WASHINGTON – Defense officials say two nuclear-powered Russian attack submarines have been patrolling in international waters off the East Coast for several days.
The officials tell The Associated Press that while they haven't seen such unusual activity since the Cold War, the military is not overly concerned. They say the Russians have a right to conduct naval exercises and are operating according to international law.
U.S. Northern Command would not comment on any details of the Russian submarines movement. But in a prepared statement, Northern Command spokesman Michael Kucharek acknowledged the patrols and said that the U.S. has been monitoring the two submarines.
Two senior defense officials provided details on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence.
Wow!!
Obama's earlier letter must have really PO'd the Russians.
If they choose to shoot,...maybe the White House and the Capitol Building will be primary targets. Problem solved.

If an attack to a few buildings can disable our economy what do you think would happen if an attack decapitated our government? I think you would find a world of hurt in our country. and issues you never dreamed of. even with my contempt of W I never wanted such an event to occur as it may be more than the government/nation can handle.
And the left wing wackos say we do not need a defense or military.
Wow.
Everyone sees Obama as a weak ass and are doing whatever they want because they know the candy ass could not make a quick and decisive decision if his life depended on it.
not to worry sarah palin can see them from her window.
Thank God she's paying attention. Obama is too busy stroking Bawney Fwank and legislators like Al Franken too busy playing the part of The Joker.
