So you are saying that FDR was aware that the attack at Pearl Harbor was going to happen and allowed those Americans to die in order to manipulate congress... You really are a sick puppy. You are at an ashram in Oregon aren't you?

Was the information being suppressed or was there a failure to coordinate it, understand its full meaning, and communicate it efficiently to Pearl Harbour? ..... so many versions of this by now, we may never know just exactly what was in Roosevelt's mind .... the japanese declaration of war did arrive an hour late or so due to a slow typist, didn't it ... [reference source - the film Tora Tora Tora -g-] Same may well have happened 11 September - there may have been sufficient information in the hands of the various US intelligence agencies to know in advance, it was just not coordinated or fully understood ... ? ... with this there would be no motive of Realpolitik, just the imperfections of Organisation Man But the world had a major problem on from mid-1939, Roosevelt did realise it early, WSC's remarks at the time reveal that he did ... but there were strong elements in the US opposed to helping ... some sort of Bund operating all through the Blitz, for one thing .... similar pattern in the first war, US came in even later there
