A President Who Should 'Live In Infamy' - Antiwar.com Original by -- Antiwar.com

Its Pearl Harbor Day.

"Day of Deceit" is an airtight documentation of how FDR sacrificed two thousand sailors to his war lust.

Once the reader absorbs the enormity of FDRs crime, one can prepare ones mind to address the questions surrounding the sacrifice of thousands on 911

I know I am going to get pilloried for this, but….I have several problems with this.

The documentation alluded to is far from “airtight”. In fact it is disputed by most other historians of the era. You can read about this if you google “Day of Deceit” and read the article in Wikepedia.

It is not clear to me what the author is claiming. Is he claiming that Roosevelt know that an attack was imminent but did not allow the base at Pearl Harbor to prepare? Even if PH and been forewarned and prepared and the Japanese still attacked, it would seem to me that the US would have declared war anyway.

3. At one point he claims that Nazi Germany would have imploded anyway so there was no need for the US to fight in Europe. He doesn't present any evidence for this. I have read sources that claim that Hitler thought that Germany would have to fight the US at some point, but he did not want to do so in 1941. At any rate the US did not declare war on Germany until Germany at Japan’s insistence declared on the US.

4. But all of this begs the larger question of whether the US would have had to fight at some point even if it had not been attacked in 1941. Roosevelt almost certainly thought so. But of course this is unprovable one way or another. If war had not broken out in 1941, we might have had to fight a Japan and certainly a Germany much better prepared than they were in 1941.
