Seem to me that to large chunk of American population, being dumb, aka
"optimistic", is all it needs to be a president. No wonder we have 4
presidential terms marked by dimwitted chief executive and massive
corruption and fraud in the administration.

it plays well in the flyover states.
Obama was right about them "clinging to their bibles and guns". the
republicans are good at exploiting that.
It explains Palin's nomination.

I'd like to see...
base 2 to 4 B-1B Lancer strategic bombers in a friendly South
American country and have a B-2 from Whiteman AFB fly over both the
base where the TU-160s are and the Russian ships.


So what would the point of such international incident and intentional
violations of borders be?

Make sure Venezuela buys more Russian equipment?
Alienate the Middle/South American states even more?
Create a new conflict in the Middle/South America agaist American states?

Good luck with that.
