But won’t that make the Island tip over from all the weight?
Just had to get that one in. No doubt that Georgia clown is running 30 points ahead in his District.

Gee, what a great place to base the KC-45 tanker, what with it’s larger fuel load than the KC-767...

The whole island is a military “base”. It is also a colonial holding of USA which Bambi will get around to abolishing. He’ll give it to the Hawaiians as part of their reparations.
To: rxsid
Wow!!!!! We are building an American base using British Pound Sterling. I guess the dollar is really in more trouble than I realized.

The Island of Guam flips over after the last of the concrete is pour for new SUPER Base.

It is going to be hard to defend that base if the Chinese decide to do something about it. It could be pasted with IRBMs from China and their subs long before the bombers got off the ground. Trying to defend an island that far from the US against the massive military power of China would render the men their as doomed as the defenders of Corregidor were in 1941.
In 1940 in order to make a statement and deter Japanese aggression in the Pacific FDR moved the US Pacific fleet from San Diego to Pearl Harbor. We all know how well that worked out. Now Obama is going to move our strategic bombers and Aircraft Carriers from bases in the continental US out to Guam.

Wonderful.
The government supports policy and trade to give the Chi-conms and advantage economically, financially, militarily......then goes and spends billions to contain them.
Way to go Uncle Sugar, way to go.

Kinda like building a big target....
When China goes "stupid", we'll simply blow them off the face of the earth. Have to stay "moveable"...

From what I’ve heard and read the good folks of Guam don’t care for the American presence they already have and that position is acknowledged by the Japanese gub mint.
Cam Ranh Bay and Russias new interest there come to mind here.
