Reply #1: After using the Robert Stinnett book to smear FDR they now use his name [View All]

[EVDebs]

Bush supporter Stinnett smears FDR for 'foreknowledge' on Pearl Harbor (while simultaneously ignoring Adm. Kimmell's own culpability by not putting in torpedo nets and anti-aircraft batteries around Pearl Harbor) playing up FDR's getting intell while downplaying Kimmell and Short not beefing up for an impending attack that they were warned was coming -- see page 130 "Day of Deceit: The Truth About FDR and Pearl Harbor" by Robert B. Stinnett.

FDR's manipulation of Japan into WWII was masterful, as was his creation of Social Security. Stinnett, who also authored a biography on GHWB, probably has a GOP ax to grind.
