Only question is what the Americans want? MCAS Futenma could be made smaller with no fixed wing only helicopters. That was not done for whatever reason and even the noisy F-18's still fly into it. What the Americans really want is bases paid for by the government of Japan. If they are moved America would have to pay the new base bills. Once they are moved, Japan could use that money for other things. The base employees could be given special government jobs. The government already pays their salaries only difference would be what they do would be a benifit to the people of Okinawa.

As long as Depression is considered by the majority to be a "weakness" instead of a disease, there is going to be an ever increasing amount of people killing themselves. The government and society needs to come up with other things people can do instead of the Permanent solution for a temporary problem.

You do know that the government and people of Okinawa do no longer have to follow Tokyo's commands? They made the agreement, never bothering to consult with the people it would impact. My mum told me how the Yamato people were our superiors. Japan is no longer a dictatorship. We are a representational democracy and the law says the Governor of Okinawa has to sign the construction permit.

Yubaru, so how much radiation do they produce now? Why can they not make special containers to store and move them to a reprocessing plant? What do they normally do with the rods?

The people of Okinawa do not want it and they do not want its replacement on island. What is so hard to understand? This is a freedom issue, Americans are suppose to promote freedom. smithinjapan, it is not the government in Tokyo that held up the replacement base but the government and people of Okinawa. It can not bribe or threaten its way to build the new airfield. The new PM understands the people of Okinawa do not want MCAS Futenma or any other new air field. So what will the Americans do next? Send in their troops with their guns? It has happened before by the freedom loving Americans.

tmarie, the war has been over for 67 years. The island of Okinawa is not a prize to keep. The people of Okinawa are not slaves for the bases. This is where America gets in trouble, all of its talk about "freedom". However they deny it to others. They make excuses for their misdeeds. This issue is not going away and for me myself it does not matter what happens.
The Governor will make a decision soon (hopefully) and Tokyo and Washington will discover the new airfield is not going to be easy. The Americans blame Tokyo for the lack of "progress" but they do not control the Okinawa people like puppets. So in order to build the base force is going to be needed. Another Okinawa only law, riot police from the mainland to allow construction. Perhaps even the Marines themselves to crack a few stubborn heads. The world is watching and seeing the hypocrites that the Americans are about "freedom".

Yubaru, your problem is you see 2 sides instead of 3. The people of Okinawa are not slaves to the government in Tokyo. The Americans say the bases keep us "free" but in reality we are slaves to the bases.

Wonders why they can not remove the fuel? That would stop any reaction.

Yubaru and others the Marines Fly Noisy F-18s. Big deal the Air Force flies F-15 aircraft. Smithinjapan, am getting tired of repeating this but the Government of Okinawa never has made an agreement with the Americans. So the question is how will the Tokyo government force itself upon the people of Okinawa? Everywhere else in the world the Americans would be first to defend local rights except of course when it is counterproductive to its interests.

Fadamor, the price of the move to Guam and the environmental impact on Guam. Do the numbers, it is over 10 billion US dollars to relocate 4,500 Marines?
Again the people of Okinawa have NEVER signed off on the new airfield. Am positive the Governor will NEVER sign the construction permit. That means MCAS Futenma will remain open, though if the Americans really wanted to help. They would stop flying the noisy jets into it. Move the helicopter landing pads into the center of the facility and give back the land not needed for a small airport. However because they have not done this shows they need a full size airfield and thus the small one in the north would NEVER replace it.

smithinjapan, what province in Canada would allow the central government to do what the Tokyo government does to Okinawa? I know the people of Canada, it would not happen.

smithinjapan, the people of Okinawa never agreed to the new airfield or even keeping the old one open. So guys, where is your "pro base" candidate? Where is the underlying majority who want the bases to stay open?

Serrano, with the exception of the contested area, the Marines do not do any good. The Russians are not a threat to Okinawa and any invasion of Okinawa by China means war. If all of the Marines left and went to Guam or Hawaii it would not mean too much. America uses its Marines in Okinawa as a forward base for its wars. It would be just as easy to deploy them from Hawaii or the US Mainland.

Israel is going to have and go it alone. They need to strike soon and HARD. Time is running out and the risk is having nukes go off in their own country.

Well the new airfield is not going to be built. The people of Okinawa have been rejecting it since 1996. The government of Okinawa is decidedly anti-base. Tokyo and Washington are just going to have and accept this fact. Anyhow the Marines will not move to Guam. There is no money for that and at a million US per marine they must all have gold toilets or something. So in the end it was all a lie, the new airfield would of been built. MCAS Futenma would NOT have closed and the Marines would of stayed on Okinawa. My evidence of deception is the massive costs to move the Marines. The Americans would of kept raising the price then environmental impact until it was canceled. The people of Okinawa do not want the new airfield or MCAS Futenma. Where are the Americans with their self determination and self rule now?

Really nice of them to prosecute him for mental illness denying all medical treatment. He got jail time, the big chicken dinner and no treatment for his medical condition from his government service. The Marine corps should be ashamed of themselves.
