MSNBC breaking news host and ex-NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams was allowed out on MSNBC’s airwaves early Friday afternoon to discuss President Obama’s visit to Hiroshima so he could resurrect a taped report that aired in 2005 on the 60th anniversary of the nuclear bomb’s dropping on the Japanese city.

In the course of discussing the event afterward, though, Williams threw some shade in the direction of the U.S. military and then-President Harry Truman by complaining that “we’re the only nation to have used them in anger” against the horrifying Axis Powers member.

All the other nations used it as a party favor.

[Olog-hai]

Including the life of a certain emperor who was finally convinced that he was not the divine descendant of the sun goddess Amaterasu.

Bryan Williams? Wasn’t he the copilot on the Enola Gay?

[PROCON]

My Dad was also staging for the invasion of Japan.

President Truman made the proper choice, and you and I and million of others are here to proclaim it.

How does he figure we did this in “anger”? Our military does not react and fight based on emotion. That’s liberal thought. This was not a fit of anger but a very seriously thought out decision. We knew it would cause major damage and loss of life and it was not taken lightly. In the end we came to the conclusion that it was the quickest way to end the war.

I’m very ‘offended’ that Mr. Williams would make such a statement.

[Secret Agent Man]

And I suppose the japs sneak attacked us in Pearl Harbor out of cold, emotionless, calculated lethality.

Brian Willians is a new world order butt-boy. Hes madching in line to te globalists now, as theyve given him back somewhat of his “career” being a journowhore again.

[Secret Agent Man]

Truman was a democrat, Brian. Watch out what party you are smearing here, babycakes.

[dfwgator]

Been saying it for a long time, within a generation or two, this is all they’ll teach about WWII.

America was bad for staying out of the war until she was actually attacked, and as a result we were partially complicit in The Holocaust.

The Soviet Union alone defeated Nazi Germany

We committed war crimes in Dresden and Hiroshima.

[beethovenfan]

Wasn’t Brian on that Enola Gay mission?

[Viking2002]

Here's another one who should be sacrificed to an active volcano by primitive South Pacific natives. If I didn't wear expensive dentures, these liberal media azzholes would make me grind my molars into stumps.

[Will88]

What a self-absorbed idiot, as he has proved often before.

[naturalman1975]

The United States was the only nation with the capability at the time a dire international situation required it.

Thank God it was in the hands of one of the few nations a sane person would trust to only use it for the right reason in dire need.

[353FMG]

Thank God, the US did not hesitate dropping “Fat boy”, should have dropped many more, just for kicks. God bless Paul Tibbets.

Brian is a puke with a silver spoon in his arse. He and they do not deserve a reason why

[Peter Libra]

The only reason that Adolf Hitler did not use the atomic bomb as a war weapon was because his scientists had not quite got there yet. They were certainly trying.

Oh, neat courtly bow you practiced, when facing Barack Hussein Obama, Brian.

[Ouderkirk]

We need to keep asking idiots like Brian williams

If the tables were turned and the Japanese had a working Atomic bomb, would they have had any reservations about using it?

[Mr. Jeeves]

We didn't use them in anger. We used them for justice.

But that's a word totally unfamiliar to the MSM.

[DennisR]

Hey, Brian - so you are saying we should not have been angry when the Japanese unilaterally bombed Pearl Harbor? We should have just smiled and waved at the bombers? You are obviously a liberal, because you have no grasp on reality.

Give it time.
