Clearly, LS thinks he's a genius, but I think he's an idiot, and so have ONLY here tried to make the SIMPLE point: that FDR & company knew ENOUGH to have provided Kimmel and Short with a much clearer warning than they received.

OESY, I'd call your remarks "state of the art" level thinking, but it's a long series of steps from where LS is today, to what serious scholars have now concluded.

That journey begins with a simpler understanding -- that Kimmel and Short were, in effect, crucified for just doing exactly what they were expected to do, imho of course.

Simple understanding separates NORTH from EAST; simple understanding looks at a map of the Kido Butai (which you have yet to do), and places it NORTH of Pearl Harbor. Stop relying on this boob Victor and actually look at a map for yourself. For the SIXTH time, read anything by Jacobsen or ANY of the codebreakers/cryptanalysts/radiomen of WW II who utterly refute any so-called “advance warning.”
