jOe,

I like your humor, usually, but this post makes me really wonder about your seriousness. It is idiocy to think we would have sacrificed as many men as were lost there to "decoys".

And, if this was an attempt at backhanded sarcasm, it is in very poor taste.

This isn't something I just dreamed up.

Our President at the time couldn't get approval to wage war on Japan....in war sacrifices are made.

The Japanese were fooled into attacking Pearl Harbor thus giving war the go ahead from the American people.

Watch the Pearl Harbor documentaries....the government knew that attack was coming that's why our best ships weren't there.





As a student of WW II I have been studying this period for over 50 years.
The facts are, like it or not, that Roosevelt was a closet Socialist and a supporter of Stalin. He know it would take some extreme event to get us directly involved in WW II as the majority of Americans were opposed to it. I have concluded that the proof available is indisputable that Roosevelt goaded the Japanese into attacking us, knew in advance that Pearl Harbor would be hit and did nothing to prevent it.
As far as I'm concerned he still should be retroactively impeached and removed as the President of the United states for treason.
Additionally he stated the United States down the road to Socialism a condition many of us are painfully aware of today.

I agree 100%--FDR, as Commander-In_Chief- bears the responsibility for the Pearl Harbor disaster- He cut off the shipping of US oil and scrap metal to the Japs in 1038--and ignored the warning signs of their impending attack in Dec 1941-
