Remember Obama's comment to Russian Premier Putin about what Obama said he would do if he won reelection?

Looks like he wasn't kidding. Here is the result: http://minutemennews.com/2013/02/russian-nuclear-b...

Now ask yourself why we haven't seen any news about this incident in the mainstream media.

Looks like this is a fine example of our foreign relations programs Obama is so proud of.

Update:

Grandma: But I did know before the articles. I was stationed at Andersen AB, Guam, long ago, AND, I still have contacts in several branches of the military. The US has a lot of military assets in Guam, and I do mean a lot. This is an incident that can not be ignored without future consequences.

Me?

Former USAF Major and Squadron Commander

    I don't know, it's yet another soundbyte couple words that fake right wing news cut the beginning and end off of so we can't even tell what the context was.

    As usual, the mainstream media failed to cover this significant event. Since "minutemennews" is a typical Conservative site I wondered where they got the information and did a web search. NBC news reported the event without the lie that "...two Russian nuclear-armed bombers circled the western Pacific island of Guam...".IN FACT, "According to one military official, the Russian Bear bombers remained in international airspace, the encounter between the U.S. and Russian aircraft “stayed professional” and there was no incident. The official said it’s impossible to determine whether the Russian bombers carried any nuclear weapons." And clarified the matter by adding "U.S. military officials say “it’s highly unusual but not unprecedented” that Russian bombers would fly training missions in the vicinity of Guam.". Obviously your source is simply trying to inflame the public.

    Also, recall that twice now.. Russian nuclear submarines were found to have been hanging out in the Gulf of Mexico and went undetected for over 2 weeks.

    Left leaning media doesn't give an airborne intercourse about National Security until it literally slaps them in the face.

    Its Guam, nothing happened. It's Guam.

    And if it hadn't been reported you wouldn't have known of it.

    Seems is was reported, in at least two venues, when nothing happens, nothing happens.

    Even in the military.

    He said he would have more flexibility.

    And the FIRST thing he did with that flexibility was try to grab our guns.

    Now we know what his real priorities are.

    "Now ask yourself why we haven't seen any news about this incident in the mainstream media."

    Maybe YOU should ask yourself that question...
