Franklin Delano Roosevelt had knowledge of Japanese and German mobilization and had called upon the Republican controlled Congress on 3 occasions to tighten deffenses on the Pacific islands and on the California coast line and had also tried on 2 occasions to mobilize the U.S. navy to help France and England in the fight against Germany. Each time, he was denied. Even if he had known of the specific attack of Pearl Harbor, the republicans in congress would have stopped him from doing anything about it. It was only after the attack that we were forced into war but it would take another year of bombarding the stuborn republicans of congress before FDR was allowed to engage Germany. -FDRismyhero

:I'm not how historical your claims are regarding the Republican attitude towards the war effort. After we were attacked by the Japanese and then Germany declared war on us, the country went into full mobilization. The Republicans were the minority Party at the time and couldn't have stopped WWII at that point even if they wanted to do so. Yes, FDR knew about the impending attack on Pearl Harbor because we had cracked the Japanese code and after the attack, FDR and his cronies tried to pin the disaster at Pearl Harbor on the commanding officers. Also, FDR did throw Japanese, German, and Italian-Americans into our own type of concentration camps so with the war, out went the U.S. Constitution. [[User:Scorpio|Scorpio]] 15:56, 3 July 2007 (EDT)
