The Coalition of the Swilling

We must never allow ourselves to forget.

*salutes*

God bless all those poor folks.

Many of us have forgotten, and have been elected to office.

And others vote, Skyler.

*Salutes*

Amen.

There was a great line in the paper this morning, from a fellow who'd been drummer getting ready for morning colors on the bridge of the USS California.

"...These kinds of things didn't happen on a Sunday."

"These kinds of things didn't happen on a Sunday."

The funny thing is, the established laid-back Sunday routine (with the large numbers of officers and men getting weekend passes) is one of the reasons that Yamamoto and his staff chose a Sunday morning for an attack.

I saw a documentary about rescue attempts made
to save those trapped sailors on the sunken battleships.Tapping noises were heard for several days by divers.Some were saved, but only a few.
I'm still convinced Roosevelt let it happen.
The Russians began a major offensive on Dec 6 th.
They were previously concerned about a Japanese attack from the east.Churchill warned Roosevelt,
and Stalin also knew about the attack beforehand.
Sad as it is.Tragedy beyond belief.This may
have been the greatest crime in history,allowed
to happened by our leaders.Sorry,but is is
probably true.

Greg,

The Soviets knew from the Richard Sorge spy ring in Tokyo (a German national who worked for the NKVD) that the Japanese would not attack Siberia, and Roosevelt was far more interested in war against Germany than he was against Japan. It would have required a significant leap of faith to base a plan allowing the attack to happen on the chance Hitler would declare war on the U.S. in the hopes that the Japanese would then recipricate by declaring war on the U.S.S.R.

Roosevelt was determined to get the US involved in the war.The attack by the Japanese meant a world
war was going to happen and the average citizen
would go along with us attacking Germany,too.
Hitler made it easier by declaring war on us.
I have Hitler's declaration of war on the US on tape.He blames Roosevelt for the war.Hitler's declaration of war on the US is one of the greatest
mysteries of all time.
