No, what must really SUCK is to be YOU. Someone who has to ranted and raved 24 hours a day for 2 years over this young black man who had the audacity to run for president in a white dominated society. I wish I could have seen the shock and disappointment in your eyes, when that young black man soundly and divisively overcame your cause and handed your GOP a demoralizing defeat....LMAO!!!

- Among his decisions was the approval of government-sanctioned biological experiments on POWs.
By 1941, Tojo was premier and in command of the entire Japanese military, which so dominated Japan at the time that he was virtually the nation''s dictator. He resigned in 1944 following a series of military disasters. After the war, he shot himself in the chest in an unsuccessful suicide attempt.
He then was tried by the International Military Tribunal for the Far East for war crimes. He was found guilty of count 1 (waging wars of aggression, and war or wars in violation of international law), count 27 (waging unprovoked war against China), count 29 (waging aggressive war against the United States), count 31 (waging aggressive war against the British Commonwealth), count 32 (waging aggressive war against the Netherlands), count 33 (waging aggressive war against France (Indochina)), and count 54 (ordering, authorizing, and permitting inhumane treatment of Prisoners of War (POWs) and others). He was sentenced to death on November 12, 1948, and executed by hanging.
Because of the crimes committed under his authority, Tojo is considered responsible for the murder of almost four million Chinese.

- CONT:
Tojo became prime minister on 16th October 1941. He initially backed the foreign office''s efforts to reach agreement with the United States. However, when convinced that a negotiated deal was possible, ordered the attack on Pearl Harbor on 7th December, 1941.
As well as prime minister Tojo also held the posts of minister of war, home minister and foreign minister. From February 1944 he was also Commander in Chief of the General Staff.
Tojo, aware that Japan was unable to win the war, resigned from office after the loss of Saipan in July 1944. He shot himself in the chest just before he was arrested by the US Military in 1945. Tojo survived and after being nursed back to health was tried as a war criminal. Hideki Tojo was executed on 23rd December 1948.

- Hideki Tojo was born in Tokyo, Japan, on 30th December 1884. He joined the Japanese Army and his military service included periods in Switzerland and Germany.
Promoted to major general in 1933 be became head of the Kwantung Army''s military police in September 1935. After becoming a lieutenant general he became chief of staff to the Kwantung Army (March 1937-May 1938).
In May 1938 Fumimaro Kondoye appointed Tojo as his vice minister of war. However, after six months in this post he returned to the armed services and took command of the army''s aviation.
Tojo held extreme right-wing views and was a supporter of Nazi Germany. He also feared the long-term plans of Joseph Stalin and in 1938 he advocated pre-emptive air strikes on both China and the Soviet Union.
In July 1941 Tojo was appointed by Fumimaro Kondoye as minister of war. He advocated an aggressive foreign policy and strongly opposed plans by Shigenori Togo to remove Japanese troops from China and Korea. - Reply to this comment
- In the 1930s Hideki Tojo fought in the Sino-Japanese war, leading Japanese forces in occupied Manchuria. He returned to Tokyo in 1940 and held ministerial posts, where he urged an alliance with Germany and Italy against the Allied forces.
Tojo became Prime Minister in 1941 and within two months ordered a surprise attack on U.S. naval forces in Hawaii. (The subsequent attack on Pearl Harbor was planned by Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto.) Tojo served as the political and military leader of Japan until 1944, when it was clear the direction of the war had changed. After the war the Allies found Tojo guilty of war crimes and hanged him.
Tojo''s nickname was "The Razor."

- chitown4716 why don''''t you get out and try to clean up things around Chicago. Everyone tells me it is the dirtiest city they have ever been to. I was there once about 30 years ago and it was filthy. You could spend time cleaning it up because you don''''t do anything else.

- But, hey, tj...don''''t worry about Obslime-a...he believes it''''s ok to round Christsians up in churches, torch the place, and machete them if they run out...like he supported his Arabic/Muslim cousin to do in Kenya to get government control.
Don''''t worry, he''''s not squeamish at all!

Your posts are the best arguement of why the GOP should continue to be REJECTED by the American People. The majority of the American people cant relate to the CRAZY TALK and FEAR MONGERING fanatics that have taken control of the GOP.
I would encourage you to continue your CRAZY TALK and alienate more voters away from the GOP. Your posts may give you a good feeling of accomplishment inside and give you some FALSE sense of importance, but what has also become abundantly clear since the election is that your posts represent the extreme fringe of society that has been roundly REJECTED by the majority of Americans....
