#1 "...Mr Abe says he has “no intention of staying on” as leader if MPs block a move to extend Japan’s support of the US-led mission in Afghanistan."
WTF!! The Japanese are over there wrestling with their consciences over the US's taking the fight to the Taliban, Osama & Co, and Mullah Omar?? Let's see just how fast they jump in line should we pull our troops and Aegis defense systems out of theater. The Japanese MP's, I'm sure, knows that the Norks are snarling down their necks and The Red Dragon Chicoms are just itching to put their little island in China's huge 'backyard', fence and all! My advice to the Japanese... go ahead, put a contingent in Afghanistan, even if it's just guarding poppy fields, thank the US for our presence and STFU!!! |
