Pearl Harbor Special on MSNBC right now

With Stormin' Norman.

Just an FYI for members here. Please no comparison to this and Sept. 11 and the like.

What always intriged me was not so much at Pearl Harbor got attcked, but that the ENTIRE Pacifc was attacked within 48 hours! How did the Japanese coverup such a large movement?

We didn't have coastal/airborne radar or satellites in '41. The Japanese fleets didnt sail a direct path either, coming in from the North and South, and avoided shipping lanes. There were indications of an imminent attack, some disregarded or slow with intel follow-up, but by no means did FDR allow several thousand US servicemen to be killed to justify a Pacific War.

Anyone else seen our WWII vet Alondra around here lately?
