Hux, please. Nobody ever ambushes the U.S. We are always attacked by our own government. FDR/Pearl Harbor. GWBush/911. Are you seeing a pattern? That little incident back in 1814... I'm thinking Madison was in on it...

That's why we gave it back to the Panamanians. We hardly use it anymore. We portage over land instead.

Ah, so that's why the Panama Canal is being widened. A relative of one of my friends is working on that project.

You saw the way the White House went up in 1814? They rigged it with incendiaries and left town....the British showed up for tea, and then the White House is on fire....how convenient for MadisonCo and their cronies.... Madison's grandfather had business dealings with the British, too...

Just finished reading a book about Bletchley Park and we almost certainly didn't know about Pearl Harbour in advance but decide to keep quiet. Almost certainly.

Churchill knew. He wanted to lure Roosevelt into the war, so he found out about Pearl Harbor, and just sat back, figuring the US would enter the war after the attack. Bastard! LOL
