Are you saying that the Presidents and cites that Higgs gave are lies? Are you saying that FDR did NOT purposely allow Pearl Harbor to happen? Think carefully on this one, because it is WELL documented. Wouldn't you call it mis-leading on FDR's part to deliberately mislead the public about what happened at Pearl Harbor, when FDR and the powers that be, KNEW well in advance what was going to happen to Pearl Harbor, yet they chose to purposely keep that information from those in command at Pearl Harbor?????

Pearl Harbor could have been properly warned, and the damages significantly reduced and MANY, MANY lives spared, not to mention saving most of not all of the fleet, but hey, then the people might not have been angered enough to jump into the war. The people were deliberately mislead!

I make no bones about what this article lies about. It lies about my president. I don't cotton to that. Do you?

Does the author of the article lie about my president because he is a liberal? a democrat? or just deluded?

How about you? Voting Republican this November?

This is where your argument implodes.

When Pearl Harbor was attacked, the US and Japan were at war, solely by Japan's choice. Are you telling me straight-faced that the US public would NOT have gone to war after the following sequence of events?

300+ aircraft (what later became known as an "Alpha Strike") on the US fleet base, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii Territory
Attack on the US Commonwealth of the Philippines
Attack on the US Territory of Wake Island
Attack on the US Territory of Guam
Germany and Italy declare war on the United States

Are you SERIOUSLY arguing this point? Are you really saying that after Japan initiated a large string of attacks on US territories and forces, AND the Germans and Italians declared war on the United States, the American public would NOT fight a war?
