Our new motto: Strength through moral equivalence
When John Kerry toured the Hiroshima Peace Memorial and Museum this week before meeting foreign ministers at the G-7 Summit, Reuters reports that he had witnessed haunting displays [of] photographs of badly burned victims, the tattered and stained clothes they wore and statues depicting them with flesh melting from their limbs.
It is a stunning display. It is a gut-wrenching display, explained Kerry. It is a reminder of the depth of the obligation every one of us in public life carries to create and pursue a world free from nuclear weapons.
Iran exempted, of course.
But, really, is this the lesson of Hiroshima? That those in public life have an obligation to do away with nuclear weapons? A lot of people might argue that existence of those weapons have saved lives from broader world conflicts and conventional warfare. That includes ending the Second World War sooner.

Ah yes, the Obama-Putin Iran deal...
From Real Clear Politics, Sept 10, 2015...
"In a 2014 New Yorker interview, Obama said his goal was to create a 'new equilibrium' in the Middle East.
In the short run, at least, his signature diplomatic undertaking can be counted on to bring more violence to this volatile region.
The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, as the [Obama-Putin Iran deal] agreement is formally known, provides the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism an infusion of somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 billion of unfrozen assets and a great deal more of continuing revenues as businesses and governments around the world rush to profit from oil-and-gas-rich Iran's reintegration into the world economy.
The agreement relaxes the international isolation of the Islamic Republic and ratifies Tehran's status as a nuclear threshold state. And it relieves restrictions on Iran's acquisition of weapons, including ballistic missiles. ..."

Trump: Well, I think our country does plenty of killing also, Joe, so, you know. There's a lot of stupidity going on in the world right now, Joe. Lot of killing going on, a lot of stupidity, and that's the way it is.

This libtard fantasy drives me nuts. The effing japs were murderous bastards, just like the Nazis. The bombings saved the lives of those innocent allied soldiers forced to fight that friggin country and their imperial dreams.
Scrapple is better.
“Given the chance, the Japanese would have gone down fighting hard with bricks and sticks if nothing else and the distinction between civilian and military would have vanished within days of the invasion.”
Very true. The Japanese plan, for when the invasion came, was to have their woman and children meet us on the beach with basically sharpened sticks. They hoped that the infantrymen would “lose the stomach for it” after they waded through wave after wave of women and children.
What people fail to realize is that the Japanese wouldve fought to the last human being. They had proven that island after island on our approach.
The last problem was that our “estimates” on American losses per island were always drastically underestimated....by somewhere around three fold. I believe the estimate for mainland Japan was one million American fighting men.
John Kerry has no idea what he is talking about and is an abject fool.
HEY, not bad!! Like your graphic! :)
Feel free, but just don’t use it for evil!
Screw you, you idiot know-nothing azz.
..if God would permit, I wish that the spirits of all the dead of the Bataan Death March could come to visit Obama in his bedroom some night soon...
If you’re calling that mountain of facts I’d dug up on Obama and many other democrats “spam”, you’re just revealing to the other members how dumb you are. In your case that’s a big “if”, because I’m pretty sure you’re intelligent enough to know better. Unlike that complete moron you’re siding with.
US???
I thought the Russkies won it.
WE sure as hell didn’t.
It seems almost certain that he would have been in the units that were in Operation Downfall--and I might never have been born...
Ham and facts are both wonderful things.
But when ham is processed in a machine and injection molded into convenient blocks, and canned for the marketplace, it becomes SPAM.
You do the same thing with facts.
The food product SPAM is easy to spot and avoid in favor of the real thing.
Same with your postings. They are easy to spot because of the style and the endless repetition, and people simply scroll past them.
And they continue to underestimate and try to reason with those who want us dead at any cost.
