: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)

FDR like the rest of America thouhgt that pear harbor would be invincible, and like most leaders felt a strike from Japan would and at the Philipines not Pearl Harbor. A little knowns fact is that war warning went out to the whole pacifc region meaning that all areas were to be battle ready and literaly in the trenches so a sneak attack would be impossible or do very little damage. All commanders but Halsey ignored them.
