Why didnt FDR tell VP Truman about the ABomb

[gipper]

FDR was arguably our WORST president and we have endured many bad ones.

He did not tell the war criminal Truman about the a-bomb because he was a fool, egotist, in ill health, and considered Truman a dunce....even though he was also a dunce.

I believe from about 1943 until his death, Stalin's Stooge was incapable to performing the duties of the presidency due to his health. His doctor had him working only 4 hours a day. He took numerous VACATIONS in the hope of improving his health, all while America was dealing with WWII....though being incapable might have been a good thing, since had he managed the war, he likely would have screwed it up just as he did the Great Depression. Yet, the arrogant asshole ran for a FOURTH TERM in '44 barely able to stand or speak.

And remember, all this was concealed from the American public.

The political class duped the American people just as they are doing today. Amazingly it continues to work.

Idiot

Dumbass

So are you saying for all those years since the constititution was ratified America did without an espionage system until FDR created one? Pretty amazing.

We had a better espionage system during the Revolution and the Civil War than we had in the 30's prior to WW2. A baseball player volunteered to go to Japan and look over their defenses but there was never an organized effort to actually spy on Japan. The FDR administration relied on out dated racial bigotry and assumed that the Japanese were near sighted little savages who had a balance problem and couldn't build a plane that would fly much less pilot one. German admiral Canaris offered information to the Allies but they refused him.

America also relied on Magic.

Magic was a technological breakthrough but the Brits had a better code breaking system and they also had an espionage and counter-espionage operation. We had Hoover's G-men who never saw a spy in their lives and later in the war we had Wild Bill Donovan's amateurs in the fledgling OSS.

We had a lot of problems, our tanks were inferior, Republican isolationists fought our preparedness, and if we prepared we were being led into war; the list is endless. We can cite Germany's mistakes, Russia's mistakes, Britain's mistakes but the bottom line is who won?

So who won?
