Now, I'm the first to admit I know absolutely nothing about military strategy, but it seems to me that "redeploying instantly" from 5,000 miles away isn't gonna happen. And, further, if a situation develops which needs our troops on the ground, isn't it better if they're RIGHT THERE and not travelling from Okinawa while that situation just gets worse and worse?
You're not supposed to ask that question.
After all, the ever-wise, super-smart MSM press who keep quoting Murtha don't ask that question.
Bingo. Okinawa to Baghdad....and this guy thinks he is a military expert? He's an idiot.
