MSNBC breaking news host and ex-NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams was allowed out on MSNBCs airwaves early Friday afternoon to discuss President Obamas visit to Hiroshima so he could resurrect a taped report that aired in 2005 on the 60th anniversary of the nuclear bombs 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 were the only nation to have used them in anger against the horrifying Axis Powers member.

Anywhere in his "report," did Brian "I-Was-There" Williams happen to mention that the decision to use the bombs was made by a DemocRAT president?

That this argument or debate is NEVER settled and always has to be scab-picked again and again ad infinitum is proof positive that it is invoked and repeated endlessly for the sole purpose of denigrating America. The argument is never held to decide upon a conclusion. It is held to trash the US and for no other reason. The Japanese thought it settled it on August 6th and 9th.
