#1 Bonzai! Perhaps the Singapore Bicycle Battlion will be amongst the forces.

#2 Bonzai? Is that, like, the blood-curdling war-cry of oriental dwarves? ;)

#5 I hope (and assume) that these troops will realize that they're probably going to "attract" a truck bomb once they get in-country, and will take the reasonable precautions that the U.N. and Italian troops thought were unreasonable.

#6 Amazing how a short presidential visit can "stabalize" the situation.

#7 If these kids are anything like their granddaddies the jihadis are about to find out what fighting to the death really means.

Since we're going to redeploy some Marines to Iraq, this also raises the historically interesting possibility of Japanese infantry fighting side-by-side with the U.S. Marines. Good luck, Mahmoud, you're really going to need it.
