Hats off to Obama for this one (and this is a first since he took office for me, anyway) - he is flexing some muscle over the naval incident in the South China Sea. A few days ago, an unarmed US Naval vessel (no doubt a spy ship looking in on Chinese sub activity) was 'harrassed' by several Chinese naval vessels in international waters. There is disagreement over several things with the Chinese in this show down, and Obama has chosen to dispatch war ships to escort these unarmed vessels. Good for him.
