By gum, he is talking about it.<BR/><BR/>Do remember, this is the guy who keeps visiting the Yasukuni Shrine even when he gets knocked for it; also the first Japanese premier to send soldiers to a war zone since Tojo. There's a nationalist buried in there, and not very deep either.<BR/><BR/>The only good news is that they're still arguing over whether their constitution would permit them to do it.hederahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01696592301686568456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20417751.post-1152535353783247842006-07-10T05:42:00.000-07:002006-07-10T05:42:00.000-07:00Molly is an honest-to-god national treasure.I see ...Molly is an honest-to-god national treasure.<BR/><BR/>I see our single-digit-iq C in C's<BR/>Japanese bud is considering strikes against North Korea.

Larry King asked him about the whole New York Times flap and all he'd say was, "but we're at war, ya know, and we shouldn't tell the enemy our game plan..." <BR/><BR/>I keep thinking of Molly Ivins' immortal line about another Texas politician: "If his IQ was any lower, we'd have to water him twice a week."

Kimmie Boy isn't going to attack anyone. He just doesn't want to be attacked like Iraq was. It ain't any more complicated than that, just a W's motivations and thinking processes also aren't any more complicated than the design of a coat hanger. It's Bozo v. Bozo on a very big stage.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous DavidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20417751.post-1152245190900002282006-07-06T21:06:00.000-07:002006-07-06T21:06:00.000-07:00So, do I get to say "I told you so"??

If we'd bombed the launch pad, we'd never have known how bad it was, we'd still be worrying that they had something capable of hitting Alaska. They're <I>working</I> on something capable of hitting Alaska, true; but they haven't got it yet.hederahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01696592301686568456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20417751.post-1151816982564372392006-07-01T22:09:00.000-07:002006-07-01T22:09:00.000-07:00Stephen, it's been driving me nuts for years.

We had some moral standing in telling other countries not to develop nukes when we were actively working toward disarmament, but Dubya blew that off some time ago. Now we're just bullies who threaten other people, and make it clear that only our friends (Pakistan, India) can have nukes.hederahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01696592301686568456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20417751.post-1151426474143299062006-06-27T09:41:00.000-07:002006-06-27T09:41:00.000-07:00Why do we get to decide whether of not a country c...Why do we get to decide whether of not a country can develop weapon systems? Don't get me wrong, I don't want a nut case to have weapons that could hit us either, but who elected us the weapon sheriff of the world? Aren't we always saying no one has the right to tell US what to do? <BR/>This kind of hypocrisy is driving me nuts. <BR/><BR/>I worry our government actually thinks we have some kind of divine right to rule the world.

This is the motu in Kwajalein Atoll that houses the US's super radar. It is used, for one thing, to track missiles shot off from Vandenburg Air Base. Take a look at a globe, note the location of Kwaj in relationship to Vandenburg, and ask yourself what else they can track.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
