Barack Obama on Friday paid tribute to the "silent cry" of the 140,000 people killed by the world's first atomic bomb attack and sought to renew attention in his unfulfilled vision of a world without nuclear weapons, as he became the first sitting U.S. president to visit Hiroshima.

"Death fell from the sky and the world was changed," Obama said, after laying a wreath, closing his eyes and briefly bowing his head before an arched monument in Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park that honors those killed on Aug. 6, 1945, when U.S. forces dropped the bomb that ushered in the nuclear age. The bombing, Obama said, "demonstrated that mankind possessed the means to destroy itself."

Why doesn’t anyone remind Obama of the Rape of Nanking where the Jalanese killed hundreds of thousands one at a time, up close and personal?

This was an episode during the Second Sino-Japanese War of mass murder and mass rape by Japanese troops against the residents of Nanjing (then spelled Nanking), then capital of the Republic of China. The massacre occurred over six weeks starting December 13, 1937, the day that the Japanese captured Nanjing. During this period, soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army murdered Chinese civilians and disarmed combatants numbering an estimated 40,000 to over 300,000, and perpetrated widespread rape and looting.

'Death fell from the sky'

Yeah, it sure as hell did:

Actions have consequences.

"At any place in world, this tragedy must not be repeated again," Abe said.

What tragedy, saving millions of lives who would have otherwise been killed because of your leaders' bone headed refusal to admit defeat?

He forgot to add that the Japan of the 10940’s holds all the responsibility for the deaths!

Those at Pearl Harbor deserved it as to their white privilege, according to Obama and his communist / BLM / SJW friends.

The Orientals were just fighting imperialistic oppressors.

This is exactly why Obama is crying at a site that led to the defeat of the Orientals, and victory for the imperialists.

Don’t ask me, I don’t get it. There is a reason no other President would go there.

If you hear an eardrum popping woo-hoo on 1/20/2017 when Marine One lifts with this traitorous SOB on board that will be me. We will just have to work and pray like the dickins that its President Trump and first lady Melania on the ground waving bye bye.

The Tokyo fire bombing killed more people. The atomic bomb just meant you needed fewer bombing sorties to destroy a city.

Pearl Harbor?

Exactly. And smart Japanese know that without those nukes, millions more Japanese would have died.
