Who said this on September 7, 1988?

[MikeG]

"Today, you remember--I wonder how many Americans remember--today is Pearl Harbor Day--forty-seven years ago from this very day we were hit and hit hard at Pearl Harbor. And we were not ready."

3. How bright was he?

[MisterP]

11. bright as a wet match in a dark cave?

well, actually, he was a devious, clever, scheming twit. Like his son, only clever.

2. That'd be Poppy

ANd I believe if you take his IQ and add it to W's, you still come up a bit shy to what the Big Dawg scores.

[Ilsa]

6. I'm amazed that there is enough brain power

in Chimpy's head to run his autonomic functions, much less higher level thought processes.

[Ilsa]

4. He said this right after his first dose of Haldol?

Let's see, did he not read the calendar right? Did he not realize he wasn't in the Christmas season, when we hadn't even had Halloween or Thanksgiving yet? Or was he really that stupid about the date month of the attack on Pearl Harbor?

It amazes me that anyone wants these people to govern.

5. The same guy who said his favorite Bible verse is John 16:3 -- POPPY

9. We were hit and hit hard at Pearl Harbor....

How did we get that to happen.... makes me wonder. It doesn't justify anything... it just makes me wonder.... another thing that I wonder about is.... if those bombs that took out Hiroshima and Nagasaki were dropped just a couple miles off the coast of Japan... say in the vicinity of some very important places.... I wonder if the Japanese would not have rolled over just the same. Apparrently from what I read below... they would have even without the erasure of two cities.

>>The elite pulls the strings, and Japan bombs Pearl Harbor, after FDR and the Navy Intelligence goads them into it with an Eight Point Plan.2<<


And what do the citizens of one of our greatest allies think about all this???

And to give my previous musings some credence.... I offer the following...

http://members.aol.com/bblum6/abomb.htm
>>By 1945, Japan's entire military and industrial
machine was grinding to a halt as the resources needed to wage
war were all but eradicated. The navy and air force had been
destroyed ship by ship, plane by plane, with no possibility of
replacement. When, in the spring of 1945, the island nation's
lifeline to oil was severed, the war was over except for the
fighting. By June, Gen. Curtis LeMay, in charge of the air
attacks, was complaining that after months of terrible
firebombing, there was nothing left of Japanese cities for his
bombers but "garbage can targets". By July, U.S. planes could
fly over Japan without resistance and bomb as much and as long as
they pleased.<<

years correct.

[robpopulace]

He did get the "ember" part right.
A little credit goes a long way,when you're a legacy.
