Leadership: Leaked cables show Japan nixed a presidential apology to Hiroshima and Nagasaki for using nukes to end the overseas contingency operation known as World War II. Will the next president apologize for the current one?
The obsessive need of this president to apologize for American exceptionalism and our defense of freedom continued recently when Barack Obama's State Department (run by Hillary Clinton) contacted the family of al-Qaida propagandist and recruiter Samir Khan to "express its condolences" to his family.
Khan, a right-hand man to Anwar al-Awlaki, was killed along with Awlaki in an airstrike in Yemen on Sept. 30. We apologized for killing a terrorist before he could help kill any more of us.
It's yet another part of the world apology tour that began with Obama taking the oath of office to protect and defend the United States and its Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, something he immediately felt sorry for.
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.

“Leaked cables....”
Good. The leaks have started and that is a great sign.... Obama’s world is crumbling.
This is one sorry administration.
This insanity is now officially beyond insanity. It's perverse. Theodore Roosevelt is doing over 300 RPM in his grave.
Teddy Roosevelt, like his cousin Franklin, was, like Obambi, a “Progressive” socialist, with little to recommend him. I’m sure he would be OK with the apology tour if it furthered world socialism.
“Those bombs saved more Japanese lives than American and they would have saved a LOT of American lives. The invasions would not have been pretty.”
Correct.
And, candidly, the Japs deserved it.
Obama’s version of America being always at fault is bizarro.
This comes from the Rev Jeremiah Wright - that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were racist attacks - and stupid Obama eats the nonsense up.
Oh, nonsense. Teddy wouldn't recognize our "Progs" ..... he'd blow snot on them, and spread his mighty Rushmore cheeks.
Roosevelt embodied issues and virtues that have Zero to do with Progressivism today (which today, remember, is just a stolen label for the Stalinist wing of the 'Rat Party -- these guys aren't the old Progressives).
Teddy’s the one who started the modern misinterpretation of theCommerce clause, beginning the statist trend toward bigger and bigger government. If that’s not right in line with “progressive” goals, NOTHING is. And progressive meant then JUST what it does now, and for the same reason: Americans would never accept socialism.
He is a disgrace to blacks, he is a disgrace to all religions not Muslim, and he is poised to take the place of Benedict Arnold and the Rosenbergs as biggest traitor to America. You people that voted for this monster should hang your empty heads in abject shame.
