Leadership: Leaked cables show Japan nixed a presidential apology to Hiroshima and Nagasaki for using nukes to end the overseas contingency operation known as World War II. Will the next president apologize for the current one?
The obsessive need of this president to apologize for American exceptionalism and our defense of freedom continued recently when Barack Obama's State Department (run by Hillary Clinton) contacted the family of al-Qaida propagandist and recruiter Samir Khan to "express its condolences" to his family.
Khan, a right-hand man to Anwar al-Awlaki, was killed along with Awlaki in an airstrike in Yemen on Sept. 30. We apologized for killing a terrorist before he could help kill any more of us.
It's yet another part of the world apology tour that began with Obama taking the oath of office to protect and defend the United States and its Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, something he immediately felt sorry for.
One stop on his tour was Prague in August 2009. There he spoke of "America's commitment to seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons," ignoring that before 1945 we lived in such a world and it was neither peaceful nor secure.
Another stop on the tour was in Japan, where Obama in November 2009 bowed to the emperor, something no American president had ever done. It could have been worse if plans to visit Nagasaki and Hiroshima to apologize for winning the war with the atom bombs had come to pass.

Yes, yes, true, true.
I’d like you to know that here in NYC, it is beginning to rain very heavily. Probably the beginning of the end for the fleabaggers.
Next, he’ll apologize for the Invasion of Normandy.
Actually, there is a lot of historical documentation to explain why Japan nixed the idea. While the Japanese aren't thrilled to have been the only nation ever attacked with atomic weapons during a war, the end result of that attack provided them with things they never dreamed of before - things like freedom, prosperity and democracy.
But, the backstory gets even better. Truman took the step of ending the War in Japan by dropping the atomic bombs for one reason and one reason only - he didn't want to tangle with Russia over dividing the spoils of Japan. At the time that we dropped those bombs, Russia (aka the USSR) was still shifting operations to their coast in preparation for the invasion of Japan. Truman pre-empted their invasion and, as a result, the US owned Japan, much to the relief of the Japanese!
So, by being as ignorant as he is, zero nearly made one of his biggest blunders before an international audience. By its refusal to accept the apology, Japan graciously kept more egg off zero's face and more embarrassment away from America for the moron currently occupying the WH!!
Thank you, Japan!
bttt
I’m going to shoot Barry my cell phone number so he can call and apologize to me for being a personal embarrassment for the past 3 years.
Can I report Obama himself to attack watch?
one thing he could say for sure: "I'm so sorry we won the war....it won't happen again!"
Obama is a neo-terrorist.
the vets at home mist be crying over what we have become.
Thanks GlockThe Vote.
