Breaking: Terror Attack at US Base in Japan

Mon, Feb 12, 2007 at 8:29:41 am PST

Blast reported near U.S. base in Japan.

TOKYO - A U.S. Army official confirmed a small explosion outside an American base south of Tokyo, but there were no reports of injuries or damage. An explosion was heard near the base late Monday, and police suspected an attempted attack on the base, Kyodo News agency reported.

The blast was in the area of the U.S. Army’s Camp Zama, Kyodo said. The report did not say whether there were injuries or damage.

Police found parts of “launch pad” near the base, Kyodo said, and investigators suspected a “guerrilla attack.”

My thoughts exactly. This was probably carried out by left-overs from JRA.

Let the blame game begin.

Al Gore blames global warming, The Dixie Chicks blame George Bush, and The Pantsuit blames U.S. involvement in Iraq.

It can't be "commies", they are against global warming, and shooting RPGs or mortars is lethal for the planet...

Obviously, the sheer volume of possible opponents who could be behind this boggles the mind...

I wish we just had one group who had stated their utter hatred for us, their desire to wipe us off the map, and who had threatened to strike us at any foreign soil location possible...

Sounds kind of amateurish in it's execution. There is just too few details at this time. However it is rumored that the attackers were wearing "Hello Kitty" scarves.

Send Lt. Kerry and his band of brothers into the breech, he once more will lead his rag tag "band-aid" team and
more fake and fraud awards and citations will be had and Jane Fonda can once more kiss the hand of death as it
makes its commie/ones of terror rounds of mad dog killing.

The msm and its supporters and the loon liberals are out and about in the waiting line to join with this death cult and its clear allies the Russians and the Ones of China, who have more proxey killers now than before,

2. "All the mad Mullas"
3. N. Korea

The U.S. if fair game all over the world? I hope Bush & Co. are paying attention no matter who ends up being the culprits.

We need to make it crystal clear that you attack us, and we will hunt you down.

Yeah, I know, Bush already said that, huh?

They were around enough back in 89' to delay the "death announcement" of Hirohito by 3 days. But now?..Eh..not so much. Now that we have almost zero presence in Japan save for Okinawa and Yokusuka they have nothing to whine about. All of our other bases are almost ghost towns now.

Who needs a JRA, when the "MSM" is armed and ready
with wholesale lies and fraud and tons of misdirection of the sheeple , 24/7 bull crap on some bimbo who lived and died the sorry life she chose.

Until the "MSM" lays dead on the floor , its judgement final America is in mortal danger from this huge group of hate America and American Freedom and Justice.

We must stand on their necks, and when they reach up the third time under water, step on the top of their loon liar heads, and make sure God takes them into his yearning arms.

My thinking no longer dwells on the "last" place but rather the next place. This may not have a thing to do with the table cloth wearing, blood god worshipping cult, with a pedophile leader but on the other hand I like to keep my options open.

Whoever was involved will simply state that they did it because of US intervention in Iraq. Then the MSM and the Dems will fawn over the fact that this tragedy could have been avoided if we never got involved in an illegal war that never had anythign to do with terrorism...

We all know that our agression has created terrrorism...

Camp Zama is location of some of our U.S. Army Japan Command (the 9th) and Control and Signals and Intelligence Services.

They even have a webpage.

Sounds like a probing action...Norks? Iranian? AQ? Red Army Japan? Could be all of them.

Nothing to take too serious here. The JRA, et. al. just love launching rockets and setting off loud noise makers in Japan. Its become a kind of tradition. They have gone from being potentially harmful or even deadly to the good old Tennis Ball cannon of your youth. Its the standard asshattery for over there.

Gaijin are too easily noticed to go sneaking around at 11pm, then setting up a "launcher" and running like hell after they set it off.

I am starting to come around to the Democrat's thinking on keeping our troops safe.

It is clear that we must leave Japan.

The question is where to park our Marines and fleets.

Our own harbors aren't safe either. Not safe enough.

I propose we dig a giant lake in Oklahoma. Lake Murtha. We strategically redeploy our Navy, Marines, Army, Air Force and Coast Guard to the Lake Murtha Safe Serviceman Complex. We can keep them safe there.

To make it politically plausible, that section of Oklahoma will be annexed by Pennsylvania, so that it can be in Murtha's district.

America's Armed Forces - stronger when they are safer!

At first, I'm not worried about this. I live in japan, and every once in a while a couple of these nuts pop a fizzling firecracker across the fence. It's leftist whackjobs, or rightist whackjobs, I forget which.
On the other hand, I would hope that this is investigated thoroughly BY AMERICANS to look for connections to more, uh, "reputable" forms of terror. I don't trust Japanese law enforcement for much beyond politely ticketing parked cars.
