The difference was FDR was NOT a Jap sympathizer and Obama bin Laden IS a MUSLIM sympathizer.
Is this not weird or what? Why is there so much concern about Bin Laden's rights to life, liberty, justice and the American way? He's dead. End of story. Is this a liberal concern? I hope so. I hope conservatives are not the ones preoccupied with Islamists rights.
The liberals worry, oh so much, that we are not granting these vermin constitutional rights. It is very expensive to provide a trial, media circus, security for a megamass murderer.
President Obama has inadvertently saved us millions and millions of dollars by giving the green light to the assassination mission.
Remember, Rudyard Kipling, regarding the British in Afghanistan, said "odds are on the cheaper man". We must find ways to dispatch the Islamists in a cost effective manner.
The other difference is that the WH and military got their story straight before yapping to the press. They had worked out an explanation for how they were able to intercept Yamamoto without admitting we had broken the Japanese military code. Nowadays, the VP blabs operational details at a public event. God help us if Biden had been VP then!
