This is international waters and we do this all the time with other countries.

Only imperialist RINOs would consider this a problem.

This is the United States of America. There used to be respect for that. Now, certain countries are pushing their luck with an inexperienced community organizer in the White house.

Again, what is Russia doing that we don't do to them? "This is the United States of America" smacks of nationalism, not patriotism.

Respect = "don't do it to me, but I can do it to you"? The fact that other countries allowed for this double standard is a huge problem and is further evidence the US is not a free country but rather an imperialism.

Sorry, but this conservative departs from the RINO community on this issue.

Really? How do you know they weren't...or, for that matter, that we weren't doing precisely the same thing?

Oh wait--it's not that you KNOW this. It's that your investing Bush with some kind of magical power as the Defender of Democracy. (That couldn't possibly be the same Bush who spent eight years doing his damndest to dismantle the Constitution, would it?)

We always were. Some control freaks can't oblige to reciprocation.

Sailing in international waters is saber rattling, looks more like the only thing rattling is your nerves.
