"Nor was there any connection between Germany and Pearl Harbor, yet U.S. Marines landed in North Africa several months after 12/7/41 to fight the German Army. Yet there was no carping in the media about 'fighting an enemy that didn't attack us' when we took on Rommel's divisions."

Read some history:

On the morning of Dec. 11 the Government of Germany, pursuing its course of world conquest, declared war against the United States. The long-known and the long-expected has thus taken place. The forces endeavoring to enslave the entire world now are moving toward this hemisphere. Never before has there been a greater challenge to life, liberty and civilization. Delay invites great danger. Rapid and united effort by all of the peoples of the world who are determined to remain free will insure a world victory of the forces of justice and of righteousness over the forces of savagery and of barbarism. Italy also has declared war against the United States.

I therefore request the Congress to recognize a state of war between the United States and Germany, and between the United States and Italy.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

"Read some history:"


Dude, that's the SECOND time in 5 minutes you've mistakenly attributed a quote to me in your response. Please direct your responses to the sources of the quotes, not me (unless I happen to be the source:) )
