Message from Ginowan (Futenma Air Station Movie Files) Okinawa
Posted by okinawatime on 2009/02/26
Sixty years after World War II, Us military base problems in Okinawa are still unresolved. 大二次世界大戦、終戦から六十年後の今でも沖縄県内の米軍基地の 問題は解決されていません。 Our earnest desire is the closure of Futenma Air Station and it’s relocation outside Japan.

Leaders offer conflicting reports on timeline for move of some 8,000 Marines to Guam from Okinawa Japan

Leaders offer conflicting reports on timeline for move to Guam
By David Allen, Stars and Stripes
Pacific edition, Sunday, February 8, 2009
CAMP FOSTER, Okinawa – More officials are expressing concern that the planned move of some 8,000 Marines and their families from Okinawa to Guam could be delayed.
While Japanese and Pentagon officials are standing by the timetable in a bilateral agreement signed in May 2006 that the move will be completed in 2014, the commander of U.S. forces in the Pacific and a Guam senator say it may take a decade or more to accomplish.
One issue is a key provision of the agreement – a new Marine air facility to be built in rural northeast Okinawa on Camp Schwab to replace Marine Corps Air Station Futenma.

Okinawa officials want the plan revised to move runways for the new airport offshore. Their opposition has delayed the project.
Another sticking point is that Japanese taxpayers want assurances that money their country spends on the Guam end of the project will help Japan’s flagging economy.
“We are behind a timeline to achieve that goal of 8,000 [Marines] down to Guam, and we don’t have enough money to make it happen right now,” U.S. Pacific Commander Adm. Timothy Keating told Reuters in Washington on Thursday. Read the rest of this entry »

Time For U.S. And Japan To Get Out Of Okinawa
January 31, 2009 at 13:34:39
It’s way past time for the U.S. to get the hell out of Okinawa—and, for that matter, to take its Tokyo good buddies with it.
Before Japanese warlords annexed the Ryuku islands in 1879, Okinawans enjoyed more freedom than they do today. Every liberty-loving American ought to be shouting: “Okinawa for the Okinawans!”
