Why does Russia want advertise to potential customers around the world that their best radar and missile systems are vulnerable to modern electronic warfare?

Obama has us on the wrong side of this thing and I have no doubt that McCain was carrying his water.

Amateur Hour plus The Gong Show.

It would be funny if it were not so ominous. Putin actually knows what he’s doing and why.

Why aren’t the words “natural gas” ever in these stories? That is what this is about. No more dying for middle east energy!

So they can get the EW signatures off the attacking aircraft and figure out how to counter the attacks. Then they upgrade so as to no longer be vulnerable.

From the comments at Hot Air regarding the article:

******************************EXCERPT****************************************

would rather McCain stick to the Sun a.m. talk show circuit..

With McCain, that is probably the point. This little move will get him a year’s worth of invitations to these shows. They may even start calling him “Maverick” again.

CALM BEFORE THE JIHADI STORM

… To understand this dire prediction, we must first examine the United States’ history of empowering Islamic jihadis—only to be attacked by those same jihadis many years later—and the chronic shortsightedness of American policymakers, whose policies are based on their brief tenure, not America’s long-term wellbeing.

… And now in Syria, Obama is, once again, supporting foreign jihadis, who make up 95% of Syria’s so-called “opposition.” As in Libya—and as in Afghanistan in the 80s—foreign jihadis are flooding Syria and terrorizing non-Muslims (a recent fatwa permits the raping of non-Sunni women), in their bid to create another base, another qaeda.

One of them recently declared, “When we finish with Assad, we will fight the U.S.!”—

Good, Obama and McCain have picked the worse of a bad choice. Both of them are responsible for the carnage that is Libya when we should have never gone near the war and they want to replicate their success is spreading terrorism some more.
