#1 I noted in his comments today, all of a sudden the base being moved off the island isn't quite as needed immediately.......

#2 Moving the US off the island is more a political tool that the newbies can count on than anything else. Funny how all the incumbents come around when faced with reality. Then they get to see their own tool used against them.

#3 A lot of American blood was shed to conquer that island and we can stay there as long as it suits our needs - as far as I am concerned they have no say in the matter.

#4 Has the guvnah ever heard of Vieques? Or Roosevelt Roads? When we leave, we don't leave a big pile of money behind for you just because everybody in Futenma doesn't have a friggin job anymore...
