Pearl Harbor Remembrance

Post by Uli »

I strongly urge Tom and all like-minded Feldgrau patrons to work for an elimination of David C. Clarke's Pearl Harbor slurs. Eliminate the Pearl Harbor thread now. How you stand on the issue is an indicator of just where you stand on respect for Pearl Harbor veterans living and dead. Remove the thread now, Clarke, or I'll report the website to those who will be negatively concerned with your slur.

David, I think you went over the line when you shouted BANZAI on the anniversary of Pearl Harbor.

Last I looked, this was still America, folks. If the owner of the Board wants it off, he'll take it off.

As for you Uli, when you start using a name, maybe I'll show you some respect.

Franklin D. Roosevelt's Infamy Speech
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
December 8, 1941
Yesterday, December 7, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy - the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.

The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its Government and its Emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific. Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in Oahu, the Japanese Ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to the Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. While this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or armed attack.

It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time the Japanese Government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.

The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. Very many American lives have been lost. In addition American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu.

Yesterday the Japanese Government also launched an attack against Malaya. Last night Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong. Last night Japanese forces attacked Guam. Last night Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands. Last night the Japanese attacked Wake Island. This morning the Japanese attacked Midway Island.

Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation.

As Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense.

Always will we remember the character of the onslaught against us. No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.

I believe I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again.

Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger.

With confidence in our armed forces - with the unbounded determination of our people - we will gain the inevitable triumph - so help us God.

I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December seventh, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire."

Nice peace of diatribe, Rossevelt lied to congress and to the poeple of the world with that crap about being a surprised attack when he knew the attack was going to happen, evidence now show he knew full well of the impending attack, there was no other way the United States of America could enter the war, if that was not the case then what a damning situation of The US Nation to allow Hitler Nazi Regime to invade Poland, Belgium, France, Norway, Denmark, Yugoslavia, Greece, Luxembourg, The Soviet Union and not have the Morality to contravene your Neutrality Act of 1940. but history repeats itself now we Have president Bush went to war on Iraq on lies he told the UN (the did not buy the lies Colin Powell told them) the UN refused to allow the US a mandate, so Bush told the UN to get Stuffed we'll go in unilaterally and unfortunately we as Australia followed as the lapdogs of the US.
