China’s most powerful military leader, in an unusual public statement, last week ordered military forces to prepare for combat, as Chinese warships deployed to waters near disputed islands and anti-Japan protests throughout the country turned violent...
Gen. Xu Caihou, vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, considered the most senior military political commissar, said Friday that military forces should be “prepared for any possible military combat,” state run Xinhua news agency reported.
I'm sure that President Obama realizes that there's a lot at stake here. Aside from the lives of millions of Japanese and Chinese at stake, a failure to attend properly to this crisis might even have a negative impact on his re-election chances, after all!

Quick show of hands: who thinks that President Obama will bother to take time out of his busy schedule of campaigning and fund-raising to even pay attention to this? I mean, I'm sure he's aware of the situation. It's not like he's skipping half of his security briefings or anything like that.
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?
Yeah. That's about what I thought.
