So you're using "false flag operation" to mean something other than false flag. Why do that if you aren't trying to mislead?

The way it is generally used is that the incident is manipulated or contrived by the government in some way that creates a false impression in the minds of the public. Pearl Harbor fits this definition if one abides by the theory that US officials let it happen in order to accomplish the end of convincing the American public that it was necessary to enter the war.

That still doesn't fit Pearl Harbor. Pearl Harbor didn't create a false impression. It was a real deliberate attack by Japan on the US. "US officials let it happen" implies US officials could have prevented it. They couldn't. Even had they known an attack was coming, that wouldn't have prevented it. As for "convincing the American public that it was necessary to enter the war", thats a logical interpretation of the attack - when a foreign nation attacks you, you can no longer choose to stay out of war.

Amazing that now WWII is being argued by Democrats to be a war we shouldn't have fought. FDR, HST, JFK are rolling in their graves.

As for the rest, those with biases pick and choose what they will accept as evidence, just as you are doing. It's not that I haven't presented any evidence. It's just that you unilaterally decided that whatever evidence I present is not acceptable.

I said in the beginning it is impossible to prove a false flag operation.

But neither have you disproven.

You haven't presented any evidence. You've merely listed things you think s/b "many false flag operations" by the US (even though you admit they don't really meet the "literal definition") and condemn me as close-minded for not accepting your assertions.

You are blind to your own bias.
