Russian Bomber Flies Over American Aircraft Carrier

This is stunning.

U.S. fighter planes intercepted two Russian bombers flying unusually close to an American aircraft carrier in the western Pacific during the weekend, The Associated Press has learned.

A U.S. military official says that one Russian Tupolev 95 buzzed the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz twice, at a low altitude of about 2,000 feet, while another bomber circled about 50 nautical miles out. The official was speaking on condition of anonymity because the reports on the flights were classified as secret.

2,000 feet?  No foreign instrument of war should be allowed that near to a billion dollar American vessel with 5,000 American souls aboard without permission.  That plane should have been shot down with no apologies.
