Talk:Chester Nimitz

While reading Days of Infamy, I noticed that after the failed attack, Chester Nimitz gave a speech which was nearly identical except for context to those in an unused "defeat message" crafted my Eisenhower: Eisenhower: "Our landings in the Cherbourg-Havre area have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and I have withdrawn the troops. My decision to attack at this time and place was based upon the best information available. The troops, the air and the Navy did all that Bravery and devotion to duty could do. If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone." Nimitz (DoI, page 506): "Our movement towards the Hawaiian Islands has failed to gain a satisfactory position and I have withdrawn our ships. My decision to attack at this time and in this way was based upon the best information available.  The Navy and the air did all that bravery and devotion to duty could do.  If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt, it is mine alone."

Does anyone think this is worth mentioning in the page?--Zmflavius 01:30, June 12, 2010 (UTC)
