“OBAMA: I’m always worried about using the word “victory” because, you know, it invokes this notion of Emperor Hirohito coming down and signing a surrender to MacArthur.”
And what is it exactly that bothers you about that notion Mr. President? The fact that America suffered a sneak attack and then WAS involved in WWII and WON?

What bothers him is that we didn’t reach out to the Japanese with an unclenched fist and ask what we could apologize to them for.
