CNN Just Revealed It Was a B-52 That Dropped A bomb on Nagasaki in 1945!

CNN at aprox. 9:20 PM, CDST

[Tacis]

By accident, I stopped on CNN just as they were doing a story on the anniversary of the successful peace action at Nagasaki in 1945. They showed some older Japanese people as the female announcer, in a voice deep and wet with concern, told about today's moment of silence at 11:02 in commeration of the time in 1945 when "a B-52 dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki."

I "accidentally" tune in to CNN every weekday to watch Moneyline with Lou Dobbs. Lou is the only conservative on that station, and hosts a great show.

A moment of silence for Mr. Alf Larson and his fellow prisoners please.

Amen SAM.

It would be nice if these folks on the left and in the media thought about our own for a change. Because of their sacrifices 'they' are allowed to breathe.

Well, it drops bombs, doesn't it? When did a liberal ever bother checking into the details?

This story is typical of a liberal. They think that by calling the name of the aircraft, in this case calling it a B-52, makes it sound like they really know what they're talking about. But anyone who has half a brain knows that it was a B-29, not a B-52, and they're NOT interchangeable. They never bother with details and getting ALL of the facts. Liberalism can be summed up as the following: It sounds good at first glance, but once you even start to think it through (assuming you have the capacity to think, and that's questionable with most liberals), the whole premise falls apart.

...B-29 "Bock's Car".

Thanks for the post, Sam.

But was it Stealth?

[VOR78]

Of course not! Are you insane?

It had a cloaking device.

[SAMWolf]

Your welcome Snippy. The Press makes me want to puke.

[SAMWolf]

You're welcome.

[Soaring Feather]

A moment of silence yes. My heavens what horror they suffered.

[BagCamAddict]

My Mom is "dating" a B-29 pilot.

[hayfried]

far more concerned with the revisionist emotional picture they can present for today's lefties

Since dropping the atomic bomb was so bad, according to leftists, what is the official leftist orthodoxy on WWII and Japan?

Would it have been better if America had lost? Should tens of thousands of Americans have died in an amphibous assault? What is the leftist answer?

It's not logically possible to simultaneously be opposed to dropping the bombs, and yet be in favor of America winning victory in the Pacific.

Let's remember the facts: That B-52 dropped the first one on Berlin, then on Tokyo. Sheesh, can't you guys keep anything straight?
For extra credit, who sang
They don't like us anyway, let's drop the big one now.

[joanil]

I thought it was a Ivan Sikorsky 'workhorse of the sky'!

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

Everybody knows it was really an F-117.

Actually it was a repaired alien spacecraft that had crashed in rural North Carolina that we used to deliver the bomb.

Don't tell anyone I told you this because it was passed on to me in confidence.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

It wasn't a C5??

[Shmokey]

I don't care which plane dropped 'em. I just wish they had dropped 10 more.

Heard this on sports talk radio, oddly don't remember seeing an article on it, but I heard last week that CNN called the Laker's publicist for an interview with Chick Hearn, the Laker's broadcaster that's been dead for a year, last week, about the Kobe situation.
