FDR’s inadequate sharing of intelligence was one reason for Pearl Harbor.
Reagan did accept blame for the Beirut bombing.
No, as much as I hate FDR, that's not the case. See my chapter in "48 Liberal Lies About American History." As commander Phil Jacobsen has shown, and as "Pearl Harbor: Final Verdict" has shown, Kimmel and Short had all the info they needed. They had a "war" message on 12/1 that they ignored. In fact---and almost no one knows this who didn't read Clausen's "Pearl Harbor: Final Verdict" book---Short REVERSED the alert codes in the summer of 1941 . . . and DIDN'T tell the War Department. The WD asked him on Dec. 5 or so if PH was on "Alert 1" (I think 1 was previously the highest) and he said "yes," meaning it was on the LOWEST. It was shameful and he should have been immediately relieved of duty just for that.
Moreover, he and Kimmel had NO long range recon aircraft out as dictated by the war memo; the Army and Navy switched off on the message transmission every 24 hours and let a key warning slip through, not delivered to Washington til 2:00 am Washington time---and even then, the attache did NOT wake up Marshall. In short, the only "inadequate sharing of intelligence" was from PH back to Washington, not the other way around. And I repeat, I despise FDR.
