Smackdown on Jon Stewart for calling Truman a war criminal

Watch. [Link]

On April 27th, comedian/propagandist Jon Stewart called Harry S Truman a war criminal for giving the order to drop two atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. Stewart claimed that those cities were civilian population centers with no military value and that a warning bomb dropped over the ocean would have resulted in a quick Japanese surrender.

Bill Whittle over at Pajamas TV responds to Mr. Stewart's assertions with one of the most brilliantly assembled recitations of historical fact I have ever heard on the subject.
I didn't know we had dropped leaflets before the bombs were dropped, warning of the coming destruction.
