1941: On November 25, 1941, two weeks before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Secretary of War Henry Stimson wrote about his meeting with President Roosevelt that day. He stated that the Roosevelt Administration was trying to see how they could maneuver the Japanese into firing the first shot in order to bring the United States into the war. He wrote: "There the President . . . brought up entirely the relations with the Japanese. He brought up the event that we were likely to be attacked perhaps next Monday, for the Japanese are notorious for making an attack without warning, and the question was what we should do. The question was how we should maneuver them into the position of firing the first shot without allowing too much danger to ourselves." ------------------------------------ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ShadowGovernment" group.
