Why do liberals want to re-deploy our troops to Okinawa? Are there terrorists there?

Question

I thought our brave soldiers took Okinawa in WWII.
How does our military fight terrorists on Okinawa?

Answer 1

substitute the word re-deploy with surrender. Liberals own defeat.

I am so sick of these libs. I almost want Hillary to be elected, we surrender in Iraq and Afghanistan, are military is reduced to almost nothing and we are hit several times by terrorists on our own soil.

Then libs would not even be able to be elected dog catcher.

Let them have their way for a few years, let's see what happens. I can't wait.

Answer 2

John Murtha stated on Meet the Press, last year, that US troops in Iraq could be re-deployed to Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Okinawa. Murtha mentioned Okinawa as part of the “over-the-horizon” presence of U.S. Marines to be deployed to the region if needed. Apparently the US has a large military presence in Okinawa although obviously deployment from there to the Middle East would not be as expeditious as from the places that he mentioned first. Also, Murtha has noted that during the course of the Iraq war, Marines at the battalion level or lower have already been deployed from Okinawa to Iraq.

Answer 3

Because we are gradually going bankrupt in Iraq, losing troops and not accomplishing a damn thing. What's your solution for capturing the 5000 or so estimated hardcore "insurgents" in Iraq who can kill our troops a dozen at a time with simple IED's? What's going to happen in the next 4 years to stop them that hasn't in the last 4?

Finally, another place that liberals want to "re-deploy" is Afghanistan (maybe you've heard of it??) the headquarters of the "Taliban" (maybe you've heard of them), who btw, actually were behind 9/11. Guess what they're still there and have a loose army which most experts concur could actually be openly fought and defeated once and for all.

So why is Bush taking troops out of a winnable situation into a hopeless quagmire? You tell me.

Answer 4

how does our military fight terrorists in Iraq? gee, since we've been there now instead of only some countries hating us, now basically every nation worth mentioning hates us...that is quite an improvement if i do say so myself.....

also, no liberal except the stupid ones want to deploy troops to Okinawa, i have no clue where you heard that....although i have no doubt someone has..

Answer 5

Because Okinawa is the closest US military base to North Korea, one of the so-called Axis of Evil. And Okinawa also provides easy access to the rest of southeast Asia.

It's not that terrorists are IN Okinawa. It's that they may be NEAR Okinawa.

Answer 6

in the beginning, the terrorists got here from Afghanistan, not Iraq. additionally, the U. S. government does not value human existence and robotically bombs and kills harmless voters (you purely do not hear approximately it). you may't supply up random acts of violence and violent persons simply by fact (regardless of the reality that i think of it somewhat is misguided) they suspect they are making a distinction in what they are doing or they have been pushed over the element. this could be a violent international and beginning wars in random countries basically makes concerns worse.

Answer 7

Okinawa is part of Japan. We are at peace with with Japan. That doesn't make sense, if true. But, of course, you did not cite any source of information so it will be givin the appropriate attention. Very little.

Answer 8

Why not ask why cons don't want to blow up the NYT building? After all Ann Coulter advocated this, that must mean all Brain Dead neocons do.

What a well thought out question. LOL!

Answer 9

Someone needs to ask Mertha.

Answer 10

Proof?
