I live a few miles from the plant that produced the plutonium for the Nagasaki Bomb (Fat Man).

An oft quoted story about the use of the bombs:

"When told that the United States had dropped 2 bombs on the Japanese and destroyed two of their cities, a Pacific Islander who had lived under Japanese occupation angrily said "Why did you stop?'."

No representative of the British Government went to Hirohito's funeral.

I’ll quote one of our FReepers the other day on a similar thread:

“Finish the tour, Nancy . . . go to Bataan and Nanking”

"I hope they see what happened here and take that back to their countries," said Naganishi, whose father died of a bomb-related illness several years after the war. "The bomb Hirohito's and Tojo's war of aggression shattered my family. It changed our whole lives."

Some editing was necessary.

World apology tour continued.

I wonder if she will visit Columbus’ birthplace and apologize for him having ever discovered America. Democrats are just plain weird people.

Going to be a long apology trip ... If you hate your country why not just move, the rich bitch has her husbands money.

Pelosi fiddles while Gustav burns (and the repubs contribute relief efforts)......

I could say something here, but it was something like it that got me thrown off another site.

"Nancy Pelosi visits Hiroshima atomic bomb memorial"

I hope they fumigated afterwards.

Who gives a crap about Connie Corleone crying crocodile tears over Hiroshima when a true American war hero should be remembered for his duty in hastening the end of the war?

What no apology for the US provoking Japan into the bombing Pearl Harbor? I’m disappointed. (sarcasm)

First an atomic bomb and now Nancy Pelosi. Can’t these poor people get a break?

If we hurry, perhaps we can ready another weapon before she leaves...

Oh, be still my heart.

The Rape of Hong Kong ring a bell with people in Great Britian?

What about the rape of a number of other Chinese Cities (I think Nanking is the most infamous, but not sure)?

What about the Bataan Death March?

I do think Nancy Pelosi is overdue to insert FOOT IN MOUTH as she has that disease very badly...

We meant it then, we still mean it now, and if the circumstances were the same, we would do it again.

This b1tch thinks she is president. Honest to freakin’ God. I truly believe that.

There are a lot of good conservatives running races for the House out there. Throw a $5 their way if you find one. It’s not even a given that she’ll win Speaker even if they still control the House, given how absolutely terrible her historic reign.
