What the hell are two B-52s supposed to do? Get shot down?

They were sending a signal that China doesn't dictate to the United States.

Then send a carrier group! Two bombers not bombing anything isn't all that intimidating.

OK, I'll admit it...I'm an American that is proud of his country for standing up to the Chinese.

What about a proportional response in International Affairs don't you understand?

Did the Chinese cross one of Obama's red lines?

Speak sarcastically and carry small stick.

That's our Obama.

Had Obama sent a carrier group, Trad would be complaining about the over-reaction.

You are wrong here. I would be on board with and BHO critique but you gotta give him credit here.

I'm wrong? Go big or stay home. China doesn't give a crap about two bombers.

That's a good one!!!!!!!!!!

Hard to appease the Conservatives on this site. He's tries diplomacy... he's not tough enough. He makes a token military tactic...he's not tough enough. He sends stealth bombers... he should have done it sooner. The war mongers in this country will never be happy unless someone else's sons and daughters are fighting in some war on another continent.

Yet... they are the first to complain about the massive national debt we have... due in part... to two wars started by Bush2.

But help is on the way... cause Trump knows people!

Oh, c'mon... this is just stupid! Save the jet fuel and save the planet from global warming if this is all he's going to do to "send a message" to the Chinese. Ridiculous.

Frankly, I'm more impressed that China is building islands.

Not sure why anyone thinks it's a good idea to go all brinksmanshippy over these islands.

Sure, it's obvious what they are trying to do. But what are we going to do about it. blow the islands up? Really?

Maybe we should build some islands of our own. Let's raise taxes on the rich and build some islands.
