North Korea didn’t have nukes when Clinton was in office. That was a product of disengagement during Bush Adminstration. Besides, a bunch of old Russian bombers don’t worry me too much. This is Putin’s attempt to show that our plan to put a missle shield and potentially extend NATO membership to Eastern European nations historically in the Russian orbit is not going to go unchallenged. But if this what they got, I’m not terribly worried. This is act done from a position of weakness.

Maybe we should just send a box of chocolates to Putin.

No, tried that on North Korea.

Didn’t work then, either…

Here’s what ABC News came up with:

“The treasure trove of documents obtained by Judicial Watch from the Department of Defense regarding Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s use of military aircraft doesn’t seem to prove the organization’s allegation that Pelosi has made “unprecedented demands” for the flights.
In fact, it appears that Pelosi uses military aircraft less often than her predecessor, former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert.

The documents cover the period from January 2007 to November 2008 and show that Pelosi made the equivalent of 20 round-trips between Washington (Andrews Air Force Base) and San Francisco. That’s an average of less than one round-trip per month. In contrast, former Speaker Hastert traveled home to his Illinois district virtually every weekend and, his former aides tell ABC News, he would almost always travel on military aircraft. Like Hastert, Pelosi also occasionally leads Congressional delegations on foreign trips (the documents show six foreign trips: one to Asia, three to the Middle East and two to Europe).

The documents obtained by Judicial Watch also disprove another frequently repeated rumor about Pelosi’s travel: that she regularly flies home to San Francisco in an Air Force C-40, the military equivalent of a Boeing 737. According to the documents, Pelosi did not make any domestic trips on a C-40 during the 23-month period from January 2007 to November 2008. Her trips to San Francisco have all been on smaller executive aircraft, usually an Air Force C-20 (the equivalent of a Gulfstream G-3) or a more plush C-37 (a Gulfstream G-5).”

My favorite part:

“In fact, it appears that Pelosi uses military aircraft less often than her predecessor, former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert.”

Marsh mouse? Planes? Please, the Dems have legions of ethical problems, please find one that isn’t false. And fits, congrats, you managed to find another story debunked for days and repeat it. Amazing.

if the speaker is on official business, I have no prob with her using available military aircraft. Denny Hassert did it weekly.
