Interesting, but it doesn't alter the fact that Franklin Roosevelt got a free ride from the Republicans after Pearl Harbor, in stark contrast to what we're seeing from today's "loyal opposition" vis a vis President Bush. In fact, in his 1944 reelection campaign FDR said that the Republicans had been reduced to hyping gossip about the dispatch of a destroyer to pick up his Scots Terrier.
The thing that reminds me of Franklin Roosevelt relative to the situation in Iraq and the War on Terrorism is the fact that pre-Pearl Harbor Roosevelt made a conscious decision to deceive the isolationist American public and the US Congress by assisting Britain in every way he could. You see, Mr. Gallup's opinion polls said the American voting public was dead set against doing the right thing where Hitler was concerned. Any good Roosevelt biographer, or Doris Kearns Goodwin, will tell you that if the American people had learned of the things that FDR was doing to draw us into WWII prior to Pearl Harbor, he would have been impeached, and probably removed from office. FDR lied to the American people, and thank God he did.
