"nice guy" wrote in message ... poor intelligence from the dem administration The democratic party was not responsible for intelligence gathering as I recall, however the base commanders had been sent warnings that clearly stated that war was imminent. Indeed the message sent by Admiral Stark to Admiral Kimmel and General Short on November 27 began "This dispatch is to be considered a war warning.... Negotiations with Japan looking toward stabilization of conditions in the Pacific have ceased and an aggressive move by Japan is expected within the next few days...Execute appropriate defensive deployment preparatory to carrying out the tasks assigned in WPL 46 " Keith Ala 911 , Hawaii was not seen as the target. Thats why we deployed planes to Midway & Wake and was sending reinforcements to the Phillipines like the PT boats loaded to go to MTB squadron 3. The Intel was all hot about movements toward Malaya. Thus, the Brits put Force Z out to Sea from Singapore. Stop trying to refight the battle. We lost, period end of story! |
