I love the way the Japanese broke the bad news in a backhand way.

“It cannot be said that the Japanese Navy has the war situation under complete control.”

That doesn’t sound good.

LOL!

In a different article on the same page Ed Langley says the Japanese are "scared to death" of another bombing like the Doolitle raid.

From what I can glean in these pages, starting about 6 months from now, they'll wish all they were getting from us are Doolittle like raids.
