Is the US prepared if the Germans bomb Pearl Harbor?
Or is this yet another example of * and his cronies failing to provide national security?

8. In 2007
- we're on an express elevator to hell - going down.

In case you haven't been keeping up on current events, man, we're getting our asses kicked, man.

Sorry to mix movie quotes.

And, we're up against a bunch of dead enders in the last throes of an insurgency, not the mighty Nazi war machine that had the world's biggest army and the most advanced weapons.

7. Why should I ask them?
Shouldn't the people that get paid to defend our country be doing that?

14. Let me guess. They hate us for the way they've been portrayed
in US movies for the past 60-something years?

15. IMHO we are not prepared
for another German attack on Pearl Harbor. Plus I think calling sauerkraut "independence cabbage" is pretty incendiary. I mean, its not the "sexual harassment of Nanking" or anything, but still, you gotta wonder when they will snap.

19. Actually, the Germans bombed Berle Harbor.
Berle Harbor, a small inlet on Lake Michigan, near the city of Chicago, was named for famed television entertainer Milton Berle.

At the height of his career, he was known as "Mister Television".

The town of Grunnel's Bight renamed the place "Berle Harbor" in his honor.

On May 7, 1945, over a week after Hitler had committed suicide and the war in Europe had ended, a rogue squadron of the Luftwaffe bombed Berle Harbor.

Since this was indeed the last gasp of the vaunted Luftwaffe, the bombs available were only cast iron 'practice bombs' with no explosive devices.

With the exception of two holes in the roof of a farmer's shed, damage was minimal.
