After Japan, they might not see the sunny side of Chateau al Sadr as an inviting beach destination. To the local keisatsu, "Take me! Take me!" might be a way of surviving!

You mean you didn't follow with bated breath every bodily function reported on LDP-TV about Kibo-Doi, Kibo-Doi, Kibo-Doi ad infinitum for the duration of the last mission? Heck, he did it A L L singlehandedly! Japan RULES! And we thought he only brought ramen (Deutsch-go!) to the flight!

Not altogether sure this is (a) unethical, (b) a breach of rules or, (c) of any long term consequence. Could it be a distraction while something definitely illicit is going on? A decoy?

rtrhead1, I couldn't agree more. Blinky wants the games for the prestige, some extra cash, and the honor of parading around with all the brass. He's the first one to vilify foreigners in his speeches and columns, but he wants their money. Given his stellar oversight of Shintaro Ginko Tokyo,…
