again... federal issues... not state issues. When Russian bombers test US airspace/defenses, radar etc... no one is asking the governor what to do and no one is asking the governor if they should scramble some fighter planes to escort them back into international airspace.
when i was about 16, i watched a bunch of F-14's scramble out of King Salmon Air Force Base to intercept some Russian planes... one of the coolest things i ever saw in my life.
All Federal issues. the governor has no role or say in national security issues or military response or military intelligence.
I've seen plenty of air shows... doesn't make me a fighter pilot or stunt pilot or more qualified to comment on piloting a fighter jet.

Either im wrong, your wrong or our own Federal Goverments description of key economic states that border other nations is wrong. And also wrong would be the responsibilities and duties of David A. Paterson, Rick Perry and Sarah Palin.
David A. Paterson, Rick Perry and Sarah Palin all three are Governors of key economic states that border other nations, all three deal in foreign policy and relations with the oversight of the the Federal Goverment.
Further more you can read the Governors Foreign Policy Analysis that oulines everything i said which supports it.
Heres one paragraph of the 12 page analysis.
U.S. governors lead overseas missions seeking investment and promoting trade, establish international offices, meet with heads of government, receive ambassadors, and take positions on foreign policy of key economic states that border other nations. This analysis describes how governors are involved in participating in U.S. foreign policy, explains why governors seek to voice their views and play an active role in working with leaders and issues beyond their state's borders, and argues that U.S. states and governors need to be better conceptualized and considered in both international relations theory and foreign policy analysis. This study reveals that governors with greater institutional powers?such as appointment and budgetary control?as well as personal powers?derived from their electoral mandate, ambition, and public approval?are more likely to have higher degrees of foreign policy activity?This also might include Military activity within the states they govern and border states as well as the states National Guard for which they control. These actions are more likely to take place during wartime and also from governors representing U.S. states bordering Canada, Mexico and Russia.
