Well, I for one would like to dig FDR up and ask him a few questions about
exactly what they did know before Pearl Harbor. Why won't he testify before
my committee??? I believe he died just to evade the tough questions the
American public wants to know!

More seriously though, many allegations surfaced after that event and exist
even to this day to suggest that our government knew that Pearl Harbor was
going to be attacked and that they did nothing about it in order to have a
justification for war in the pacific.

So I think it is a reasonable comparison. Bush is alleged to have lied
about Iraq and might have know more about the 9/11 attacks than he is
admitting. FDR and the administration might have known Pearl Harbor was
going to be attacked. Both used their respective war as an election issue.
