Reminding me of the feverish activity of the Manhattan Project. We simply did not know how far along Hitler's atomic project had progressed. We knew he was working on it, and we knew that German scientists were theoretically capable of producing one. We NOW knew he didn't have one. Suppose he had have one. He could have stopped the invasion of Germany at a stroke.

Apparently if you are a leftist trying to impeach Bush, you must also state that we should have not invaded German occupied France during WWII. After all, we had no proof that Hitler possessed a nuclear weapon. Hitler never attacked the US mainland. He was not responsible for Pearl Harbor. There was no collaboration established between Hitler and the Japanese Emperor over the attack on Pearl Harbor. Germany had used chemical WMD in the past during World War I, but they had not used them during World War II. So if you are a leftist, France should still be occupied territory. The way things are going in France right now, it may yet become occupied territory.

Until recently, we also knew the Japanese didn't have one.

That is now in dispute:

GW is discovering why Roosevelt did little significant
about the Axis threat until Pearl Harbor.
