More on the end of America. They were excellent trading partners , bigger than that investment partners. The amount of American investent that went in there? Phenomenal. The amount of trade? The political relationships? Were good, as good as allies can expect.
Now with them financially falling, its enough to inject more political instability
Now Obama wants to piss of another one of our friends and member of the G7? (Let him piss off the Russians, they didnt want to shake his hand anyway!) Piece by piece, he is dismantling America and her influence. By the time he is done, he will have unraveled america right to the industrial revolution. He wants a third world America.

Unacceptable presidential behavior leading to the death of America. Treasonous behavior if there ever was. Bastard has no clue other than how to destroy America.

obananamerica - a - comming

Unless America wakes up!

The Obama Nation has been proposing to remove dozens of F-15’s and F-16’s from Japan since April.

That was then - now the administration will probably be happy to leave those aircraft there.

I'm glad we didn't agree to sell Japan any F-22s.

Yukio Hatoyama, the leader of the Democratic Party of Japan

Isn't this the guy whose wife says she was once taken up in a spaceship, met Tom Cruise in another life, and eats the sun?

No joke.

...blaming the US for the ills of capitalism, the global economy and "the destruction of human dignity".

Has he been reading the obama / democrat playbook?

He also intends to examine an agreement that permits US warships to dock at Japanese ports, in violation of the nation's non-nuclear principles.

I thought the "agreement" already said our Navy ships would not enter Japanese waters with nuclear weapons on board. Of course, they may have a number of interesting components that when assembled by a trained ordie could become a nuclear weapon...but technically, no nuclear weapons...

They really want to push this, fine. Pull the X band radar out of Japan. Pull the PAC-3 batteries. Delay shipping SM-3s to their Navy and the upgrades to their Kongo class DDGs. See how they like living inside North Korea's current ballistic missile footprint with zero self-defense. We can play hardball too. ... Oh, wait, we have obama, about has hard-ball as nerf.

The Telegraph, it’s a UK newspaper. Quite well known.

I meant where did this attitude on the part of the Japanese come from.

This isn't 1937, Hatoyama-san. The Chinese will eat you alive. Taihen abunai desu ne. Oh. And best of luck with the North Koreans, too.

What I sense here is an amateur convinced that he can play middle-man between the U.S. and the other geopolitical pole of the moment. He isn't the first by far. I hope he doesn't harm Japan too much before his sorry butt is tossed. I'm thinking the same about 0bama.

Missed all that. I haven't been able to follow the news at my previous news addict pace for these last few months.

This story is definitely a bummer to read.

Ok, sorry for the sarcasm.

I’ve been being attacked for being the messenger on others of my posts.

It’s called “We are living up to our end of the agreement by not arming ourselves in the contract that you will protect us and Obama lets Kim Jong Ill lob missiles that fly right over our heads and tests nuclear weapons without Obama doing squat about it.”

Not entirely true. Obama would give a statement saying, "now look, this action is not entirely helpful."

This has been building up for some time. Remember the short termed Japanese PM that H.W. Bush vomited on in front of the Emperor? He was planning all kinds of anti-US stuff, too. However, having chunks blown all over him ruined him, politically.

It led many to suspect that H.W. Bush did that intentionally, which is debatable, as H.W. Bush has a great understanding of Oriental customs and history (he had been ambassador to China, remember? Even the Chinese were wary around him because of his knowledge of their inner workings.)

If you look at the video of the event, you’ll notice that Barbara Bush starts inching her chair away from H.W. right when he starts to look queasy. But he is almost shoulder to shoulder with the Japanese PM, which insured that he got a whole lap full.

Insanity my ass. This is the real Japan re-asserting itself. They may have decided they have had enough of being the vanquished from WW II-- and sense that the US is wallowing in a state of unprecedented weakness. If so, they will be right.

It sounds like Japan is moving into the category of being a problem now. Thanks, Barack.

We should have armed Japan long ago and used it as a counterweight to weaken Red China.

Yukio Hatoyama, the leader of the Democratic Party of Japan, has caused alarm in Washington after publishing an article blaming the US for the ills of capitalism, the global economy and "the destruction of human dignity". He also intends to examine an agreement that permits US warships to dock at Japanese ports, in violation of the nation's non-nuclear principles. Mr Hatoyama says he will also look again at the $6 billion cost faced by Japan to transfer thousands of US troops from their base in Okinawa to the Pacific island of Guam amid a wide-ranging review of the American military presence on Japanese soil. His election campaign promised a more "independent" foreign policy from Washington and closer relations with Asian neighbours, including China. On Thursday, he repeated his intention to defy the US and end the Maritime Self-Defence Force's resupply mission in the Indian Ocean.

Okay, Obama. Make fixing this your top priority and stop bothering us with your Health Care BS. This is mostly your fault in the first place. Fair's fair.

You mean the cancelled F-22's?
