This sounds like a really serious breach of
the of airspace around our Carrier Strike Group 
when a Russian Tupolev 95 bomber can fly 2,000 feet
over the USS Nimitz while one more circles overhead 
nearby.The USS Nimitz launched four F/A-18 fighters
when they spotted the Russian Tupolev 95 Bombers at
500 miles out by why in the heck did the allow them
to fly right over the carrier!!.If they did not turn
course when instructed by the fighters the should have
forced them to change course or shot them down but
instead let them get get close enough they could
have dropped a bomb right onto the deck of the USS
Nimitz.Read the story for AP/Yahoo news and think
about what could have happen!!
