Okinawa??? WTF???
That was one of the locations that murtha wanted to "redeploy" our troops to. From there, they could "quickly" go back in if it were necessary.
I have no idea what he think being in Okinawa can do for us.
I think he meant Guam, but he failed to correct himself (even though Tim gave him a chance). I don't think Okinawa wants 100,000 more troops hanging out there anyway.
I am not even going into how crazy and completely nonsencical this. But bottom line, how can you effect change in the ME deployed in Okinawa.
Simple explanation. Murtha heard about the North Korea missle and decided to deploy, errr...re-deploy...uhmm..send troops to be on stand-by for that..
See? An easy mistake that anyone could make- getting Iraq confused with southeast Asia.
pppfffttt...
