		<description>The "science minister has also chimed in":http://www.japannewsreview.com/politics/politics/20071222page_id=3588. It seems this whole thing was kicked off by a "comment by the Chief Cabinet Secretary Nobutaka Machimura":http://www.jiji.com/jc/zc?k=200712/2007121800828&#038;rel=y&#038;g=pol a few days ago where he said he personally believes in UFOs despite a "government positioning paper released on the 18th":http://www.jiji.com/jc/zc?key=&#038;k=200712/2007121800447&#038;rel=j&#038;g=pol that claims the existence of UFOs as yet unfounded. The positioning paper was in response to a written question by Yamane Ryuji! Who is this guy and what is his deal with UFOs?</description>

		<description>Interesting news from Jiji-tsushin

http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20071221-00000198-jij-pol

So actually that means that the SDF considered once seriously investigated how to defend an attack from Godzilla?</description>

		<description>That was apparantly a joke.

But maybe it went to far..., at least for some in the LDP.
Seems that Mr.Nikai is very unhappy with the recent UFO discussion.

		<description>Saw that on TV this morning. Ishiba was really enjoying himself, going into all the possible outcomes--"If they're friendly aliens, coming to tell humans to live in peace with one another, then this doesn't fall under the Defense Ministry's remit; but if they are hostile then of course defending Japan is constitutionally allowed; in any case it's unlikely we would be able to comprehend the message they were beaming to us" and on and on. He was smirking incessantly. Nothing but a joke from beginning to end, as far as Ishiba's concerned.</description>

		<description>I think if Yamane asked the question in all seriousness, Ishiba did a good job turning it around with the Godzilla comment. You know, the old meet _boke_ with _boke_ tactic.

If it was a joke from the beginning, then I can understand. It isn't like the (now twice extended) Diet doesn't have better things to discuss than the existence of UFOs.</description>
