Are you new or just another transmogrification?

I don’t think she understands what impact the US had on the outcome of the Korean War. Hypothetical?

Land aquisition? Simple competition? The leadership in Japan honoring a group of sadistic a-holes? Korea and perhaps China among others are saying that Japan's aqcuisition of F-22's will start an arms race which is pure hooey. What started it is KJI and NK detonating an atomic weapon and firing some missiles in their direction. Now even though many say the detonation and missile firings were flops or nothing but smoke and mirrors it gave Japan the perfect excuse. And for Japan to gain these fighters should be an opportunity for them to pressure SK to quit being so limp wristed with their dealings with the North. Baduk,

Who knows, I might be speaking Japanese now if it were not for the U.S. or you might be a Commonwealth citizen now wiouth French. You should tell me how Uncle Sam’s hand tastes like before I try.

Apparently the Pentagon official whose office would have to sign off on any foreign sale of the F-22 says they wouldn't. Interesting. Also "interesting" that <em>Chosun</em> buried this item in their National/Politics section with just a headline link, while the previous article (screaming that the Japanese sale was well nigh a done deal) got top billing on the home page.
