Hmmm, soooo the Chinese and Russians and the Islands aren't the big concern of the US congress huh? This is more of an issue? Seems like something that can involve us into a war would be the focus. This should tell the "Okinawan bases are important" crowd how wrong they are.

Japan only needs the alliance because to them, it is better for the other race to die rather than their own. Use an enemy to kill an enemy in case of a conflict. They can take care of themselves like Taiwan, they just need the innovation from white technology (from America), like China needs it (but they get it from Russia). The US doesn't care, they know this. It's all business, either keeping trade open or just keeping a presence in the region... it's all money, even if a lot of American soldiers die (for democracy --- another word for business for the billionaires) in a conflict. Money is made either way. gotta love it.

What about the umbilical cord cutting thing? Did she cut it herself or is that necessary or what?

Screw her! She has to learn her daddy's money and that stupid act of hers won't put her above the law in foreign countries. She and her token black body guard can leave and never come back.

jamal, it is probably both.. anti imcumbent and a swing to the right. By "right" I mean people are getting worried about the debt and the spending. Even the spending the "right" approves of, the defense budget, is getting questioned now by republicans and even Sec Gates. Not defending our borders is also worrying people. States are going broke by supporting illegal aliens sending their kids to school and giving them free medical care because they have no money. Now 8% of children born in the US are born to an illegal alien, making them legal US citizens (the children). Everyone afraid of being called a racist when all they want is to keep undocumented people out of America. It's okay to do it on airplanes, but not borders? Crazy stuff. Were at a crossroads in America and November will show it at the polls. It will be interesting.

What gets me is that it supposively happened on 6 Aug but she reported it on 11 Aug. Enough time to get tired of the snickering at the station, and "reclaim" her innocence. That is what a good defense lawyer would accuse her of doing.

northlondon,
That sounds good, and it is the company line, but is it true?
The same company line was used in the Phillipines "the Chinese will invade" but when Clark Field and Subic NAS closed it's doors in the 1990's, the Chinese never came. In fact in Makati the financial district of Manila it's the Chinese who are running the show. Without the Chinese the economy would be even worse than now.
In Taiwan "the Chinese will invade" was also the company line, but in the late 70's our bases in Keelung and Taipei and down south closed. The Chinese haven't invaded and that was 35 yrs ago.
I doubt even the most brainwashed officer would agree with that. If anything it is the Navy, Air Force and Nuclear Umbrella. More than that it is the trade between nations, aid and other diplomatic measures.

tkoind2 and kurumazaka, how does crime rate statistics affect base existence. The article is about the need for the marines in Okinawa. They aren't needed. Even if there was a threat, the USAF and Navy is all that is really needed. Crime is the added burden of hosting the bases (unwillingly I may add). All crime from SOFA personel is additional crime committed against the locals that otherwise wouldn't exist. There are other factors besides crime, such as four drunk foreigners walking down the sidewalk forcing the 70 yr old local woman off to the side or the loud party from the nearby military men who live downtown. These aren't crimes, but these "non crime" burdens exist 24/7...

I dont' care for Obama, but I'm glad he done this.. I give him credit for fulfilling his promise. Now I hope he looses his majority in November. He is ruining the economy.

That isn't true, in every case where bases were closed the economy boomed in them areas in Okinawa. Besides bases don't exist for the good of the economy or whatever economy that develops around the bases once they are in position. This has nothing to do with Hatoyama's demise (base related economy).
Posted in: When the Democratic Party of Japan, led by Yukio Hatoyama, swept to power a year ago, there were high hopes that they would bring about positive change in Japan. What do you think went wrong?

If you want the US economy fixed, you'll have to go with Mitt Romney or Ron Paul.. more than likely Ron Paul because he would be best at controlling spending.
