Great quotes. I'm particularly pleased to see the first Yamamoto quote which I hadn't seen in print before.

He DIDN'T say it. Even "pop" sources like these sites have mistakenly picked up on this. Look at Spector, "The Eagle Against the Sun." Look at ANY substantive history of the Pacific War. Nagumo said something like "I cannot predict what will happen after six months," but no one ever said anything about a "sleeping giant." Pure Hollywood.
