Bush went over there which is known, and he met with Abe which is not as widely known. The problem is that after their meeting, BUSH was suppose to resign - not Abe.

Of course the Japanese are rejecting aspects of militarization - with George W. Monkey seated at the wheel, so is everybody else including people in Zimbabwe who could obviously benefit from it. Abe is not the issue - it is Bush.

The Japanese construction companies employ thousands of men, wear uniforms, have morning formations, and undertake physical exercise together. Run mess sections, structure hierarchy, and maintain levels of internal communications. With more and longer meetings than you would like, but they do.
Is the world suffering from a shortage of infantry men? Do we need more helicopter assault battalions? The South Koreans fight like demons and it is true, having pacifist Japanese between us and a potential battlefront in South Korea might have been problematic but we seem to be over that hump anyhow.

Mobilize their construction companies. Does Darfur need UN troops or an interstate highway system? Assuming the 'Great One' or 'Our Father' or whatever the **** they're calling him these days eventually dies and North Korea falls apart, who would you have build a coastal railroad - the Japanese already have strong ties to the Chinese; could you segment the line, with the South Koreans building north, the Chinese building south, and the Japanese building a stretch in the middle?

Once the six party talks have resolved the nuclear issue, what are they going to talk about? Assuming the Chinese haven't built railroad track bed to the coast of North Korea while waiting for change, is there any interest in a Joint Venture building it in anticipation of one day connecting on the North Korean side?
In the United States our National Guard units have two week summer camps [Annual Training or FTX]. Is there any interest in having construction executives from the two, three, four, or five nations make a precursor visit, followed by
a. a unified summer camp of 'concept only' meetings,
b. a unified summer camp of survey and schematic layout,
c. a unified summer camp of 'border improvements' which might be dirt work and skill exhibition using heavy equipment [Japanese equipment arriving on a South Korean freighter for a composite crew which eats Chinese food with a glass of Russian vodka in the evening].

Suggestion: Chinese, Japanese, Korean - if the countries actually put forward their best guys, you need to have them do something real and useful. 'Build a bridge' literally or something. If they're lazy guys you can just hold meetings, but good guys will want to work, and somebody who isn't doing their share is going to 'catch a little flack.'

The Japanese are and should be players and arguably should prepare for a larger role particularly in the region, only their people take one look at the impostor Bush and won't let their own politicians significantly even talk it - and its hard to blame them. Smart people.

So Bush and the LDP sat down and developed a plan to 'end run' the Japanese Constitution in militarizing the society. In fairness to the man, it isn't just Bush. In 1994 CIA executives Bill Richardson - now running for the presidency - and Peter Bourne conspired with conservative elements in Japanese government to preserve the dominance of Giminto or the Liberal Democratic Party as they lost their monolithic hold on politics and were forced into a series of coalition governments, which Richardson and Bourne promptly collaborated in undermining. The Socialist Strawman, Punching Bag Murayama? Remember him? Thank Richardson and Bourne, noting that Clinton - actually both of them, Hillary and Bill combined - couldn't or anyway didn't hold them back.

Oh what swine, shoving that up Abe's *** so hard they put him in the hospital 13 years later.


MoveOn.org may be CIA-orchestrated, and this is the best proof to date. An ad that deliberately goes a little too far in controversy, and it isn't good to make fun of somebody's name anyway. That's a little kid mistake they did to disparage the debate.

But that is the Bush Administration in its entirety save for Cheney and probably a couple other serious guys behind the scenes. Everything in public is certainly an embarrassment.
