That's the reason for the delay ~ to send out the investigatory team to verify the type of bombs used.
The background reason for Truman's decision was quite simple ~ any country that had the capability of investigating these events and determining which type of bombs were used could make them given enough time.
The war had to be ended by all means ~ not just 2 million troops were at stake ~ hundreds of millions of Americans, Europeans and Asians' lives were at stake should the Japanese complete their own atom bomb development program and restart their conquests.
They need not have built a single bomb to be a real threat in the nearterm future.
Guess these moonbats (including Miss Bussewitz) haven’t read the details of Operation Olympic/Operation Downfall, especially so soon after the bloodbaths at Okinawa and Iwo Jima.
The Americans anticipated so many casualties, every Purple Heart given out in every single conflict was actually made for the anticipated invasion of the Japanese home islands. Some 120K are still available, and some units in Afghanistand and Iraq have these on hand for immediate award.

Tell that to Nancy Lugosi, Ted kennedy, Harry Reid, Barbara Boxer, Henry Waxman, Lynn Woolsey, Ellen Tauscher, Charles Rangel, John Murtha and all the other doofuses impermeable to the lessons of history. That a little nothing entity, wet behind the ears and fresh from "journalism" school succumbs to the same ignorance is no great surprise.
Those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it...
Just saying.
