New Photos Of Hiroshima Revealed - Think of This When You Think Of "Obliterate"

Some new pics of the aftermath of the nuclear attack on Hiroshima have come out. They are pretty awful. They are reminiscent of Auschwitz, Rwanda and the Killing Fields of Cambodia. A soldier named Robert Capp found the undeveloped film outside of Hiroshima during the occupation of Japan. I think viewing this should be mandatory for everyone in this nation. The US is a nuclear power. Every citizen should know the power they place in the hands of people like George W Bush. People should know exactly what Hillary Clinton means when she says she would obliterate Iran(a non-nuclear power, they have nuclear energy not weaponry) if they attacked Israel(a nuclear power) with nuclear weapons. Although her statement presented a very unlikely scenario, we should all be on intimate terms with what she talks about so nonchalantly. She has no problem with committing a total genocide on the entire population of Iran, despite the fact that most Iranians do not agree with the actions of their unelected rulers. She draws on the powerless rants of an impotent figurehead in order to score points with the more ignorant or evil amongst us. I would like to see someone show a picture like this to her and ask her if that is what she wants to do to Iran. She throws around murdering 71,000,000 people at 3:00 AM as if it is no big deal for a tough vetted experienced fighter like her.

I will never cast a vote for anyone who advocates the use of nuclear weapons. Hillary's careless tossing around of words like "obliterate" only goes to further reinforce the view that she should never, ever be allowed to be put in a postion of power. She has showed zero judgement, and zero character on this, and so many issues. A gas tax holiday that she can only get a lobbyist from Shell to endorse, is laughable. But threatening to use nuclear weapons on 100 million innocent people is a pre-meditated war crime.
