See the bit above about permission slip.

How much of a permission slip do we need for Okinawa? We are not in the
habit of creating large bases, and keeping them in place, if we can't
operate as we choose out of them.

How many sorties did the Air Force fly out of Saudi Arabia for OIF?

How is a B-2 going to keep the PLAAF away from Taiwan without bombing
China and turning a minor conflict into a general war?

Duh. You use the B-2, etc., to hammer the crap out of the targets in the PRC
(like maybe their airbases, huh?). It goes to the level of armed conflict,
we are not going to be ditzing around with them while giving them sanctuary
across the 12-mile limit.

Like the Korean war?
