The old saying goes that “hindsight is 20/20”. We’ve all done something and later come to see that it was either a spot-on choice or a horrible one as time continues to roll on past the point of that action.
Comedien Jon Stewart, who quite frankly isn’t even worth the effort it takes to type his name this morning, recently went on the record to call former President Harry Truman a war criminal for actions taken to force the Japanese to surrender during WWII. After a couple of days, and likely prompted by both viewer outrage and someone filling him in on a fact or two that his lonely left wing-nut brain cell couldn’t spin or deny, he attempted to make a lame retraction cum apology or…something…in order to get back in the good graces of media consumers.
The only reason for mentioning this is because Bill Whittle has a simple yet brilliant piece at PajamasTV that presents the facts surrounding the United States dropping atomic bombs on Japan. These are facts available to anyone and after some 60-odd years you’d think it would all be common knowledge. While adroitly proving Jon Stewart is little more than a bad comedian playing an illiterate pundit, more importantly it also points out a few things that the Obama administration also refuses to acknowledge as it continues to waffle and try to obscure facts about actions take by the Bush administration after 9/11 to keep America safe. As it continues to pander for voter support for its fascist ideology instead of dealing with facts in order to “protect and defend the Constitution of the United States”. You know, those simple yet profound words upon which that acclaimed “great orator” Barack Hussein Obama choked during his inauguration.
This should be required viewing by everyone.
There is none so blind as he who refuses to see. Gosh, these men are starting to sound like the alumni of the school that akmoodmadinajad attended.
