Bremer asks for 50,000 more troops

Important if true.

It's about time. They should have gone in with twice as many as they did.

Well I know that Japan doesn't need those troops there. Unless something bit happens with North Korea they really aren't needed there...

Leaving Japan might ease up the tension a little in the region too. But I doubt US is gonna to do that.

All these troops overseas may create a vacuum at home. We're gonna leave the door wide open.

Yes well I was on several Military bases the last time I was in Japan and most of the troops were pretty much on vacation. Obviously times have changed and tensions are a bit higher but I saw most troops just lounging around going to bars, etc.

Was on CNN I think this morning. I was actually on the phone with Radar1797 and they were showing Bush making a fool of himself once again at some Air Force Base in Ohio when I think I heard it.

If I find a link I will post it.

True the troops in Japan don't have much to do usually, but it is an important location with the big hissy fit North Korea is throwing. South Korea and Japan the the likely targets of any agression, and NK actually fired a missle over Japan into the Pacific once. Pretty scary. Speaking of Japan, I was pleased to hear they are going to send support troops to Iraq, a great show of support.
