As noted earlier, our current prime minister never has a problem with anything his ministers say or do. As long as they keep their jaws moving until they sort of sound contrite, he's happy.

安倍晋三首相は25日夕、久間章生防衛相がブッシュ米大統領のイラク開戦の判断を批判したことについて、防衛相から同日、衆院本会議場で釈明を受けたことを明らかにした。久間氏は「開戦前の認識を示したものだ」として、開戦を支持する閣議決定に異論を唱えた発言ではないとの認識を伝えたという。首相官邸で記者団に語った。首相は記者団に「問題ないと思う」との認識を示した。

"I don't think that there's a problem," said the prime minister to assembled journalists.

I am way too aggressive in my use of the indicative...but does Prime Minister Abe really need to bracket his statement with "to omou" when he is talking about his own judgment?
