LIberals are starting to sound like Bagdad Bob. US troops are committing suicide all over at the gates to the city and there are no US troops in Bagdad. One of his broadcasts you could see a couple Abrams tanks in the background. lol
The two Russian Bear bombers flew near Guam at about the same time President Barack Obama delivered his State of the Union message. Military officials refused to speculate about the timing.
You will have to contact Bill Gertz at the Washington Free Beacon for your answers. He seems to be a guy that has national security contacts. He is the guy who exposed Bill Clinton selling our missile technology to China.
He seems to be whatever you want him to seem to be. But we do not care what he seems to be.
Russian nuclear subs have patrolled off our coasts with nuclear weapons on board for decades.. This is nothing new.. They stay in international waters and we don't really have a say in the matter, other than to track them...
This is not good from a military standpoint. Russian Bear Bombers carrying nuclear tipped cruise missiles flew to Guam and circumnavigated it until we had to scramble F-15's to run them off. This shows the weakness of President Obama. It shows that Russia does not respect him as a strong leader. This is quit embarrassing for the United States.
The Russian Tu-95 Bear-H strategic bombers were equipped with nuclear-tipped cruise missiles and were followed by U.S. jets as they circumnavigated Guam on Feb. 12 local time—hours before President Barack Obama’s state of the union address.
Air Force Capt. Kim Bender, a spokeswoman for the Pacific Air Force in Hawaii, confirmed the incident to the Washington Free Beacon and said Air Force F-15 jets based on Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, “scrambled and responded to the aircraft.”
The bomber incident was considered highly unusual. Russian strategic bombers are not known to have conducted such operations in the past into the south Pacific from bomber bases in the Russian Far East, which is thousands of miles away and over water.
John Bolton, former U.N. ambassador and former State Department international security undersecretary, said the Russian bomber flights appear to be part of an increasingly threatening strategic posture in response to Obama administration anti-nuclear policies.
“Every day brings new evidence that Obama’s ideological obsession with dismantling our nuclear deterrent is dangerous,” Bolton said. “Our national security is in danger of slipping off the national agenda even as the threats grow.”
Key word here OAS, INTERCEPTED.
Russians have been doing this since we purchased Alaska from them.
While I was stationed at Eielson, scrambling fighter jets occurred 24/7, back then they used F-4's.
BTW, did you know that on 9/11/01 VP Dick Chenee told NORAD to stand down?
