The United States waited TWO YEARS after Pearl Harbor before responding. In war strategy, patience is a virtue.

In war strategy, patience is a virtue.

We'll be deliberate, yet time is not on our side. I will not wait on events, while dangers gather. I will not stand by, as peril draws closer and closer. The United States of America will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons.

The United States waited TWO YEARS after Pearl Harbor before responding.

Don't look now, but we're edging up towards "two years" after 9/11/01.

And if you think the US didn't respond until "two years" after Pearl Harbor, then what in the hell were these
American carrier battles, all of which took place within FOUR MONTHS of Pearl Harbor?
And the battle of Midway, the turning point of the Pacific war, happened within six months of Pearl Harbor.
