On October 7, 1943, Rear Admiral Shigematsu Sakaibara, then a captain and commander of Japanese forces on Wake Island, ordered the execution of the 98 prisoners of war without trial. The POWs were marched to a northern beach, blindfolded, and shot. [One POW managed to elude execution, was hunted down, and was executed with a sword by Sakaibara himself.]

I would have killed him 98 times.

Sakaibara got off easy.

A bark diet would do Albright a world of good.

Her quip to Kondracke turned and bit her on her steppe-sized ass.

Bush moving our troops back from the DMZ is delicious in its implications.

Sakaibara got off easy

Yeah, some people you wish you could execute more than once.

Wow, Neville LOOKED like a squeaking weasel.
Maybe even a barkingmoonbat.
