Peter, I don't know about that. Although FDR didn't lie about getting in the war, he did help cause the attack on Pearl Harbor, and increase our losses in the raid. Just prior to the event, he reneged on every contract, trade agreement, and treaty that we had with the Japanese, and then, against the urging of the commanders in the Pacific, sent an executive order that the entire Pacific fleet be assembled in Pearl Harbor on December 7,1941 then blamed the Admiral at Pearl for the attack, and broke him down. If it had not been for the sudden, and odd, engine problems with the carrier task force under the command of William "Bull" Halsey, we would have been left with no navy to fight in the Pacific except plywood PT boats. She might have said that we could not win, but the Navy, Marine Corps, and the Army, didn't believe that for one minute. With what was happening in Europe, we were already gearing for war, and the major corporations are the only ones that could produce the tools of war that we needed.
