You would be correct. I was too busy trying to get over his FDR comment. He is an isolationist and he believes every war we get into somehow benefits some hidden power.

Yes, it was Bock's Car that dropped Fat Man over Nagasaki. However, Fred Bock (for whom the aircraft was named) wasn't the pilot. Major Charles Sweeney flew Bock's Car on the mission because his aircraft, The Great Artise was assigned as the instrument aircraft and it would have been a waste of time to switch all of the instrumentation around.
