  “What should we do under these conditions to reinforce the opposition armed forces? We have had these discussions with our partners, with the Americans, the Saudis, the Turks, many others,” said ministry spokesman Philippe Lalliot.

  “We cannot leave the opposition in the current state.”

  Why not? Just butt out. If the "popular uprising" is not popular enough to bring the downfall of the regime, what right do France and Britain and others have to get in volved?

  Nice to see French workers haven't been cowed by austerity and the sight of 25% unemployment in some Euro area countries.

  Why is he suddenly speaking idiot stereotyped Asian English like something out of a Fu Manchu movie?

  Agree. As a junior high school teacher my guess is his English is pretty good.

  Bet his Japanese is better, but not all of us JT'ers are as pera pera as CrazyJoe

  Neither. Although what his actions do show is that the illusion of freedom in the US is just that. Intrusive government, restrictions on just about everything, massive powers given to law enforcement, continued reduction in civil rights (except owning gun which is supposed to maintain those freedoms - that is working well, eh?). I guess he thought he was doing the right thing. As for Booz Allen, i have worked with some of those bozos before. Basically just consultants but they get plenty of US government work as Carlyle is heavily tied in with the Beltway establishment. I guess one lesson will be that Pentagon and security esatablishment will look again at how it hires and vets those working on "secret" projects. although with the size of the "intelligence community" (there is an oxymoron) that looks to be almost impossible.

  Koto-ku is looking to get some credibility by aligning with the more glamorous areas of Tokyo. and why not? Most other major cities which use a location driven licence plate system have one identifier for the whole city.

  Posted in: I think ‘Tokyo wangan’ [Tokyo Bay area] is the best option. If possible, it’d be better if the plates were used by six wards, including Minato, Chuo, Ota and Shinagawa wards as well as Koto and Edogawa wards.
