Oh.. we don't need to "arm" the Japanese with nukes. They are perfectly capable of producing them on their own, should they opt to rescind their NPT status.

And they have the rocket technology to put them squarely on target.

And boy o' boy.. wouldn't it just THRILL Bejing to see Japan become a member of the nuclear club?

Btw, here's an interesting opinion article on Murtha's recent comments:

opinionjournal.com

Mr. Murtha has been sticking his foot in his mouth a lot lately. He accused Marines in Iraq of murdering civilians "in cold blood," contradicted himself in the same breath by saying they had "overreacted," and asserted that higher-ups covered up the purported crime without backing his statements up. He told a startled Tim Russert of NBC that U.S. troops withdrawn from Iraq could be "redeployed" to Okinawa, Japan, whence they could return "very quickly" to Baghdad--which is 4,899 miles away. And more than once he has offered these examples of presidential leadership: "In Beirut, President Reagan changed direction. In Somalia, President Clinton changed direction."

I guess I can now see why he never made General in the Marines.
