Kevin Hall/McC: U.S. confirms Russian jet flew low over Nimitz task force
In Saturday's incident, the Tupolev fighter bomber flew below 3,000 feet and was intercepted by U.S. fighter jets and escorted away. The jet managed to fly over the U.S. carrier fleet and the Nimitz, Cartwright confirmed.
Buzzing a battle group is strange behavior indeed, given the totally awesome power of the U.S. Navy. Unless of course the Navy is underfunded, overtasked, wearing out, and spread thin. Or as the Republicans like to call it: "strong on defense".

Dang, rba... just when I think you have lost the spark of snark
you go and do it again. "Strong on defense" indeed.
Great and to the point!
It ties in with the apparent theme of the day, too -- the hypocrisy of the GOP's "Support" for the troops.
