The lie that FDR needed to get Americans to want to go to war..

On Sunday, December 7, 1941, Japan launched a sneak attack on the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, shattering the peace of a beautiful Hawaiian morning and leaving much of the fleet broken and burning. The destruction and death that the Japanese military visited upon Pearl Harbor that day — 18 naval vessels (including eight battleships) sunk or heavily damaged, 188 planes destroyed, over 2,000 servicemen killed — were exacerbated by the fact that American commanders in Hawaii were caught by surprise. But that was not the case in Washington.

Comprehensive research has shown not only that Washington knew in advance of the attack, but that it deliberately withheld its foreknowledge from our commanders in Hawaii in the hope that the "surprise" attack would catapult the U.S. into World War II. Oliver Lyttleton, British Minister of Production, stated in 1944: "Japan was provoked into attacking America at Pearl Harbor. It is a travesty of history to say that America was forced into the war."

Pearl Harbor: Hawaii Was Surprised; FDR Was Not

FDR lies America into war
FDR attacks a country that did not attack the US.
FDR rounds up Japanese citizens and vets them with loyalty tests.

FDR is seen as a hero!

Maybe Congress should have investigated the Pearl Harbor attack, then we would know the truth, right?

Might check on the number of times Congress investigated Pearl Harbor, always with Republicans represented on the committees. The Republicans may have conducted another investigation after they took office after Ike's election. I think there were at least nine investigations of Pearl Harbor, probably more and volumes written about those investigations.
