Obama and Nukes

So Obama became the first U.S. president to visit Hiroshima today. If only his actions could match his words...

Consider this (from Reuters):

"We come to ponder the terrible force unleashed in the not so distant past," Obama said after laying a wreath at a Hiroshima peace memorial. 

"We come to mourn the dead, including over 100,000 Japanese men, women and children, thousands of Koreans and a dozen Americans held prisoner. Their souls speak to us." 

Before laying the wreath, Obama visited a museum where haunting displays include photographs of badly burned victims, the tattered and stained clothes they wore and statues depicting people with flesh melting from their limbs. 

"We have known the agony of war," he wrote in the guest book. "Let us now find the courage, together, to spread peace, and pursue a world without nuclear weapons."

What a lovely thought, especially from the president who lied about the Iran nuke deal just to get it through Congress. You know the deal, the one which does nothing to stop Iran from getting nukes?

And let us not forget that Obama has reduced the U.S. nuclear stockpile less than any other American president.

Instead of saying what he did at Hiroshima, maybe he should have said, "If you like your nuclear stockpile, you can keep it!"
