may cancel these orders, if desired, prior to

What I would like to know is what this guy was thinking as to what would be the consequences?
The Japanese thought we would cave in after Pearl Harbor.
I cannot believe that he had similar thoughts? Or did he think that we would abandon our allies, and run like little scared rabbits from the rest of the world?

I just cannot understand what in the world this guy thought when he dreamed up this whole thing?
