Is he going to lay a wreath? And bow?
We want a BIG bow.
And we still pay for the defence of this d*cks country ?
Why the hell are we subsiding a country who hit us bad, perhaps the worst hit we’ve ever had after 9/11, and they refuse to acknowledge it was wrong!?
We damn near wiped Japan off the face of the earth. If he chooses not to apologize, I’m ok with that.
I am thinking Obama will apologize to them.
Quick buy a Lotto ticket , LOL , you can’t lose
We really need to treat this apologies for historic wrongs fetish of the political Left as the childish nonsense it is.
Current people of Japan, Germany, the US, the UK etc have nothing to apologize for. They had no role in the national polices and the decision the political Leftist are demanding apologies for.
It merely an intellectually infantile debate tactics.
The left wants to argument that because of this irrelevant historic fact (i.e. segregation, slavery, war crimes etc) you must embrace our radical Leftist political agenda now.
No we don’t.
Ha!

I don’t need an apology. What’s done is done. Plus, we got them back many times over.
This recent trend of apologizing for historical events is silly. What does it accomplish? It is an empty gesture. Now if Abe committed seppuku at the event, that would impress me.
Who cares. Japan can repress all it wants. We all know what happened, and so do they, even if they wont admit it.
Anyway, blockbuster announcement from Japan Softbank CE0 — about investing $50 billion in the US because of Trump — is the thing to focus on.
Abe didn’t bomb us. 99 to 100% of the decision makers regarding Pearl Harbor are dead. #Justsayin
I wouldn’t expect an apology from Abe. Pansy Obama shouldn’t have given one.
Given the last 8 years of presidential ass kissing from the Obama Apology Tour that has turned my stomach time and time again I’m okay with this. Never apologize except to family.
You may be spot on. Unfortunately.
This residency can’t end soon enough.
I agree with him.
An apology is meaningless. However, they should not have the meeting at Pearl Harbor.
It is not the Battle of the Bulge, Gettysburg, Stalingrad, or Yorktown. At Pearl Harbor, they cheated, whether they meant to on not.
Why not meet at Midway? or DC at the WWII memorial?
Many of the US servicemen in WWII volunteered. Can you imagine anyone in the Obama White House volunteering? It is going to take a long time to remove the stain of Obama.
I have no problem with him not apologizing but stay away from Pearl Harbor site.
Obama will probably apologize. Obama is a swine.
“...Japanese leader Abe won’t apologize ...”
Nor should he. Neither he nor his administration had anything to do with it. The people who started that war, planned and plotted and carried out the attack are long dead. Yamamoto, who planned it, was ambushed in the skies over Bouganville and shot down in a very PERSONAL hit.
They’ve become an Ally over the decades. What’s done is done.
And I say this as someone who’s uncles were in the Pacific fighting them; my father lost a 22 year old cousin on Iwo Jima, and came very close to losing his older brother on Okinawa.
If anything, I’d like to see him say a prayer for the dead, and a prayer for peace so that modern day insane assh*les who’d like to emulate Tojo, Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, etc., NEVER get the opportunity to start another war like that Hell on Earth.
Let the Dead rest in Peace. They paid for our today by giving up their tomorrows back in 1941-1945.
