[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5603615, member: 58386"] If he was right then why couldn't he name a single card carrying Communist party member who was also a State Department employee. After going on and on and on but still not producing anything more than accusations and conspiracy theories the US Senate got tired of listening to him and censured him. The only person who was actually charged and convicted was Alger Hiss and that was on a perjury charge not an espionage charge. The problem plagued (pressurization and engines) B29 did not come online until late 1944. A fully loaded B29 from San Francisco would have have had to make a 3200 mile trip to Midway into a westerly headwind deliver it's payload and fly another 3200 miles back to San Francisco. given it's reliability problems how many do you think would have made it to Midway let along making it back? A BTW the bomb didn't become operation until nearly 4 years after the war started. When the US entered WWII it had total strength of 200,000 while at the same time Japan's army and navy alone had a combined strength of more than 750,000 and was the world's third largest navy. So get real man. Crippled by the worst depression in it's history and attacked on two fronts by 3 hostile nations the American representative democracy found itself in it's greatest peril in it's history. [/QUOTE]
