Interesting correlation. This article makes FDR sound like a military genius. I didn’t know FDR planned the whole WWII by himself.

Hate FDR as neocon’s must, I think we won that one. Of course FDR lost the peace at Potsdam.

FDR, if not a military genius, was a very astute observer of humanity and knew to pick good men to do the job for him, such as Harry Hopkins as personal envoy, George Marshall as Chief of Staff, and Eisenhower as SACEUR.
Meanwhile, Stalin, the leftist’s hero, was demanding a sanguinary and sacrificial landing on the French coast to relieve pressure on the Red Army, and his flunkies demanded “SECOND FRONT NOW!” in New York and Los Angeles.
Let us let the military men fight the military battles and the politicians to fight the political battles and let us not let the roles cross. Unfortunately, the Clintons don’t see the difference between the two roles; thus we have a Richard Clark.

FDR didn’t. Back in the late 70’s, there was a “documentary” on the FDR white house. The black servants really ran everything, including WWII strategy.
