Obama Wanted To Apologize To Japan For Winning The War They Started

66 years ago after some of the bloodiest fighting ever United States of America forces were contemplating the invasion of Japan. 4 years earlier Japan started the war we were fighting with a sneak attack on our forces at Pearl Harbor. The best estimates by military and intelligence agencies put the loss of life in such an invasion of Japan as high as a million plus lives. Instead the US dropped atomic bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima killing approximately 240,000 people which was approximately one fourth the projected death toll of an invasion. The two bombs also had the psychological effect of defeating the Japanese after the second bomb was dropped.

Obama wanted to apologize for Democrat President Harry S. Truman not only winning the war against the US, but also for lessening the death toll. These apologies were to be part of Obama's worldwide apology tour.

One stop on his tour was Prague in August 2009. There he spoke of “America’s commitment to seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons,” ignoring that before 1945 we lived in such a world and it was neither peaceful nor secure.
Another stop on the tour was in Japan, where Obama in November 2009 bowed to the emperor, something no American president had ever done. It could have been worse if plans to visit Nagasaki and Hiroshima to apologize for winning the war with the atom bombs had come to pass.
A heretofore secret cable dated Sept. 3, 2009, was recently released by WikiLeaks. Sent to Secretary of State Clinton, it reported Japan’s Vice Foreign Minister Mitoji Yabunaka telling U.S. Ambassador John Roos that “the idea of President Obama visiting Hiroshima to apologize for the atomic bombing during World War II is a ‘nonstarter.’”
The Japanese feared the apology would be exploited by anti-nuclear groups and those opposed to the defensive alliance between Japan and the U.S.

The rank amateurism of the Obama administration is personified in this story. First, the US has nothing to apologize for. We didn't start the war nor did we force the Japanese to ally with the Nazis of Germany in a war against the United States. Second, the Obama administration so misread the Japanese as they gleefully pursued an agenda of putting America in its place in a way that no foreign power would or could. Third, the Obama administration completely misunderstood the American people, especially the millions who had relatives who had family members that fought and died in the attack on the United States. Lose. Lose. Lose.


The Japanese are well aware of who started WWII. They may not want to discuss it, but they are aware. The Japanese are also a proud and self sufficient people who do not want our apologies. As with the more recent Tsunami the Japanese didn't want the sympathy as they could and did lift themselves up. The Japanese find such a gesture that Obama and his minions thought so brilliant in its "kindness" embarrassing and a sign of weakness. So do most Americans. Not Obama. Apologizing to Japan for the atomic bombs ending a war Japan started and lost would, for Obama, show America's contriteness for winning.

If America wants to show contriteness it should apologize to the world by defeating the embarrassment of having elected Obama in the first place.

Breathlessly Waiting For Breathless Headline

While we wait breathlessly for another breathless headline about radiation in Japan or the latest atrocities of the errant radical right wing nuts that make op the cadre of Tea Party covens nationwide I noticed an article in Reason Hit and Run about Senator Al Franken.

Save the Internet From Al Franken

Last time we checked in with Senate not-so-funny man Al Franken and his ongoing crusade to save the Internet by enforcing net neutrality, he was confusing wireless data networks like the ones that connect Blackberries and iPhones to the Internet with home-based wi-fi connections like you might set up in your office

Franken isn't the sharpest tool in his shed and the gardener knee pads are funnier, but this article shows yet another politician desperately trying to seem relevant when they have absolutely no basic understanding of which they speak. Maybe Franken can once again show his cute pugnacious side and break all the inter-tubes if he doesn't get to save free speech by imposing government regulations on free speech. Of course, Franken isn't alone in his approach to government stupidity. Maybe a current leader, but not alone. There are those that actually still believe we can spend our way out of being broke. This is, as always, the cure that kills, but then they can say we were the cure!

Okay, back to FOX and the alphabets desperately trying to scare the bejeebus out of us because they really need those ambulance chasing mesothelioma ads. I'm breathless.

Hillary's Final Two, Obama's Final Four & Japan's Finale

Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton announced that after her term as Secretary of State, in two years, she is out. Japan is out if you believe the media. Qaddafi is murdering his people by bracketing. Egypt is winning in its tournament by killing their opponents. And the whole Middle East is a powder keg of explosive action.

Why would anyone care about the march of madness in the world when March Madness is upon us here in the United States. Any bartender or wife that switches to a news program will be murdered and their killer will be found innocent by reason of temporary March Madness.



If by chance radiation wafts over the Pacific to our land of plenty there will be a plenty of skeletons still sitting in recliners holding beers with their dead eyes still pointed towards a television. It appears that will be the case at 123 Hog Back Road, Anytown, US 54321 as well as at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20500. Unfortunately, they won't find out how the madness called foreign policy ends.

As an American I am so pleased, actually tickled pink, that the president has finally found something of interest to fill his term of office.

The Dead Jap Fundraiser For Big Gov

"make Professor Friedman spin in his grave … and the Tea Party be damned."

The lie is falling. The lie is falling. If only we had big government to stop this deadly rain of destruction. If only! If only we had a law, another bureaucrat and an all encompassing government to meet every contingency of every problem that just might come our way. Maybe we need comet commissars to prowl our streets and homes to ensure we are properly prepared for the day. You must see that it is only logical.

Laissez-Faire Earthquake Lessons

Let’s hear it for building codes, health and safety regulations, mandatory standards for public education, and all sorts of helpful government intervention that would make Professor Friedman spin in his grave … and the Tea Party be damned.

This piece, from the Chronicle of Higher Education, merely a defense for their actions in Madison, Columbus and an ever growing list of capitols that have grown weary of their childish demands that they be treated as an equal, but super special group within our dying economy, is indicative of just how entrenched they believe they have made themselves.

So they chant, dance and play drums bolstered by articles such as this to raise "awareness" to their plight. Plights take money and this article is nothing more than a plight-fighting money raiser.

There should be a teachable moment here, but how do teachers teach when they are refusing to be taught by their employers. Their employers have gone broke being taught how special special groups they are. We have no more money.

God have mercy on the Japanese suffering, but Higher Ed doesn't want the dead to waste their deadness so they are just borrowing them for a little lesson-pep talk and a fundraiser.

These are your teachers. Learn from them.

Chicken Littles Already Blaming Japan's Earthquake On Climate Change

Yep, like doggies with a bone these people will not let anything shake their belief that puny men are killing mother eath.

Some Respond To Japanese Earthquake By Pointing To Global Warming

“Some islands affected by climate change have been hit,” said Nilsson. “Has not the time come to demonstrate on solidarity — not least solidarity in combating and adapting to climate change and global warming?”

“Mother Nature has again given us a sign that that is what we need to do,” he added.


Hey Joe, Mother Nature calling collect. Oy vey...
