This is really, really starting to get embarrassing.
The Whistle Ass administration doesn't seem to understand that they're really in no position to make demands of anyone at this point.
The U.S. is demanding Japan send its troops to Iraq early to help rebuild the war-torn country, a Japanese daily reported Sunday, the Kyodo news service reported.
Citing government sources, the Tokyo Shimbun said the U.S. is displeased with the uncertain outlook for sending the Self-Defense Forces (SDF) to Iraq as Japan plans to delay the dispatch until next year due to the worsening security situation there, Kyodo reported.While the U.S. says Japan is an independent nation and it should make its own decision on dispatching the SDF, it has expressed discomfort with Japan's failure to meet U.S. requests in "sweat-inducing areas," the newspaper said.
Japanese government sources cited by the daily quoted a U.S. Defense Department official as asking Japan, "Why don't you shape up?"
The U.S. also wants SDF troops to operate on their own in Iraq without relying on U.S. troops, it said, Kyodo reported.
And they wonder why the world is telling them to go fuck themselves.

How dare the Japanese show any common sense and regard for their troops?! What do they think they are -- a sovereign nation?

I'm already boycotting French wine, Belgian chocolates, and German wienerschnitzel. Looks like I'll have to add sushi to the list. Or could we simply rename sushi to "Freedom Cold, Dead, Raw Fish"?

Wait'll the right wingers start saying, "Those ingrates...we nuked them in '45 to save them...and now look how they pay us back!"
I guess the Hello Kitty boycott is coming next...
