Simply going there he apologized and flipped America the bird and he hugged that Jap bet he wisperred sorry in Japanese
Obama is just crapping on Christians again
Does the Pope poop in the woods?
You said it.
Obozo is doing his “western civilization apology tour” without uttering the word “apology”
He grovels and whines like a little bitch.
Nah, Hiroshima was a uranium bomb, the city was flat (Hiroshima MEANS wide island) so the distance from ground zero was a VERY good predictor of lethality; close dead, far live. About 130k dead.
Nagasaki was a plutonium bomb, city was very hilly so you could be close but live (shielded by hill), or far and die. About 70k dead. Nagasaki was a BACK-UP tarket, primary was obscured by clouds.
He needs to hail the peace maker.
Those two acts ended the war and cut and enduring war short, let alone loss of life and a long list of broken things.
In the absence of the bombs, their determination would have kept the war going for a long time.
Obbie can’t think that far.
I love Rush, but he’s wrong about “Nagasaki made them give up”.
That SOUNDS convincing, but that, too, is wrong.
Rush is almost never wrong.
Why isn’t he apologizing rof his islamic brethren and their koran inflicted loss of life over the centuries???
It’s all about his American envy, from a muslim perspective.
Yes but what tree does he use?
What made them give up, was hearing The Emperor on the radio for the first time telling them to give up.
Now, if Tojo and Co. had gotten to the Emperor beforehand, all bets were off.
This dipshit _resident is too stupid to realize that without The Bomb there would be no Obama.
Because the Japanese were bent on our defeat.
Our victory in the Pacific guaranteed 70 years of peace.
Again: How is it possible for a grown man to be this stupid?
The Pretender amateur in the White House is anti nuke bomb, but hands it on a platter to Valarie Jarrett’s kinfolk in Iran.
Obama knows Zero about History
Most people don’t realize there was an actual FIREFIGHT on the grounds of the Imperial Palace; armed radicals were trying to get a hold of the surrender recording to head off the surrender.
It wasn’t a small firefight.
Always thought it would make for a great movie.
“MURDER AND CANNIBALISM - CAPTURED AMERICAN PILOTS
Reference has already been made in Murder and Cannibalism on the Kokoda Track to the facts that cannibalism of Allied prisoners of war by the Imperial Japanese military was not a rare occurence in the Pacific islands and was not necessarily related to an absence of normal food.This disgusting practice is probably indicative of the depths of depravity to which the Imperial Japanese Army had sunk after several years of genocidal behaviour in China. Japan’s brutal and unprovoked war against China began in 1937, and this war was used to train the Japanese military for Japan’s wider aggression that began with the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. Having brutally murdered millions of captive Chinese civilians and prisoners of war, both men and women, children and elderly, it is really not surprising to find that Japanese troops were capable of engaging in the disgusting practice of cannibalism.
Lord Russell relates the story of a young American pilot who was captured, murdered, and eaten by Japanese officers on the island of New Britain. The story is narrated by Havildar Chandgi Ram who had been shipped to New Britain with other Indian Army prisoners of war and forced to work as a slave labourer for the Imperial Japanese Army.
“On 12 November 1944, I was digging a trench for the Japanese in the Totabil area of New Britain. About 1600 hours, a single-engined United States fighter plane made a forced landing about a hundred yards away from where I was working. The Japanese from Go Butai Kendebo Camp rushed to the spot and seized the pilot, who could not have been more than twenty years old, and had managed to scramble out of the plane before the Japs could reach him.
“About half an hour from the time of the forced landing, the Kempei Tai * beheaded the pilot. I saw this from behind a tree and watched some of the Japanese cut flesh from his arms, legs, hips and buttocks and carry it off to their quarters. I was so shocked at the scene and followed the Japanese just to find out what they would do with the flesh. They cut it in small pieces and fried it.
“Later that evening, a senior Japanese officer, of the rank of major general, addressed a large number of officers. At the conclusion of his speech, a piece of fried flesh was given to all present who ate it on the spot.”
From “The Knights of Bushido” by Lord Russell of Liverpool, published 2002 by Greenhill Books, London, at pages 235-239.
* The Kempei Tai were the Japanese military secret police.
Being aware that some people would question the reliability of this eyewitness evidence of murder and cannibalism, and that it was condoned by senior Japanese army officers, Lord Russell provides extracts from the testimony of Major Matoba before a military tribunal on Guam after the Japanese surrender. Major Matoba describes a number of occasions on which the flesh of murdered prisoners of war was consumed in the Japanese officers’ mess. This disgusting behaviour took on the character of a festive occasion, with the flesh being washed down with sake. Very senior army and navy officers attended the officers’ mess when human flesh was consumed and Major Matoba claims that they encouraged this vile behaviour.
Lord Russell then cites the text of a Japanese Army order issued by Major Matoba. This battalion order explicitly deals with the procedure for cannibalism of a named American aviator Lieutenant (jg) H-—. For the sake of the feelings of the family of this young pilot, I will not include the full surname here. The name is given by Lord Russell in “The Knights of Bushido” at page 236.
Although apologists for cannibalism by the Imperial Japanese military, including Major Matoba, suggest that shortage of normal food was the likely cause of this depraved behaviour, neither this story nor the cannibalism on the Kokoda Track can be attributed to starvation. New Britain is a very large island off the north-eastern coast of the main island of New Guinea. New Britain has rich volcanic soil and produces an abundance of easily grown natural foods, including paw paw, coconut, and various types of sweet potato.”
