Foot-in-mouth disease(失言癖/妄言癖）というよりblind belief(妄信）だ!

Foot-in-mouth disease strikes Toru Hashimoto--「失言癖（妄言癖）にまたもや罹ったHahsimoto氏」と某英字紙。
CNNはJapanese politician calls wartime sex slaves 'necessary'のheadlineのもと、Toru Hashimoto:"Anyone would understand"e the role of "comfort women"(Hashiotoの発言ー「誰でも慰安婦の役割は理解しているはずだ」−)とズバリ。

おまけに奇怪千万な発言まで自ら暴露したー沖縄米軍基地を視察時に陸軍司令官に語ったというーThe adult entertainment business in Japan should be "utilized more" by U.S personnel(日本の成人用風俗業をもっと米軍兵士に有効活用させるべきです）
H氏自ら発言趣旨・内容を生々しく語るー"I told him there are places that operate within the boundaries of the law which can be used for releasing sexual frustration, so the U.S. military should fully utilize it or the marines won't be able to control their aggressive sexual desires."

＜恐れ入谷の鬼子母神＞だ。失言どころではない。妄言と云うべきか妄信か？　言うなれば確信犯だ。
“U.S. troops in Okinawa put on curfew ”(オキナワでは米兵には夜間外出禁止令が出ている）と国務次官が激怒。
我慢の限界か・・米政府が遂にキレた。Hashimoto発言を異例の非難だ--
"Mayor Hashimoto's comment is outrageous and offensive. As the United States has started previously, what happened in that era to those women, who were trafficked for sexual purposes, is deplorable and clearly grave human right violations of enormous proportions. We understand that mayor Hashimoto is planning to travel to the United States, but in the light of these statements, we are not sure that anyone will want to meet with him."
「橋下市長の発言は語道断で侮辱的だ。米国がかつて述べた通り、戦時中、性的目的で連行された女性たちに起きたことは、嘆かわしく、明らかに深刻な人権侵害であり、重大問題だ。橋下市長は米国訪問を計画しているらしいが、こうした発言に照らせば、面会を望む人がいるかどうかわからない」

CNNに寄せられたか数々のツイッターの中から--
"He is Mayor. If Japanese are ready regret on what they did during the WWⅡ,they have to force the guy to resign, but what happened is opposite way. No matter how many time the Japan government apologizes are useless. Asian people know they didn't regret on the wrong doing."

極めて妥当で的を射た意見だー「日本が戦時中の行為に対し謝罪の用意があるならば、当市長を辞めさせることだ。それ以外、日本政府が何度釈明・謝罪してもアジア諸国民にとっては空々く聞こえるだけだ」
