Panetta is such a wuss. I’m glad he’s gone as of today. The best response to China’s ridiculous claims in the Senkaku Islands is to send in a carrier battle group to do some ‘exercises’ with a Japanese allies. Instead the Obama minions are acting as if they’re on China’s side in this.

Maybe they’re not acting.

China will sink a Japanese self defense vessel and Obama will duck out for a game of basketball. And that will be the end of US bases in Yokosuka, Okinawa, etc.

I have noticed that countries that have NOT been friendly to us in the past are being treated as if they were long-time allies; and, long-time allies are being treated badly.

BO has a very different world view than America has had in the past. I suppose this is part and parcel of his "transformation" of America.

Maybe this is why Washington is claiming they can't afford to refuel the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). "Gee, sorry Japan, we just don't have enough carriers on-line to help you right now." I wonder how many more obama will take out of service.
