You are a genius Doug... seriously.
I hate these anti-American traitors. A POX on the house of Slutburg.
No, it doesn't take genius. The truth is that I just loathe the NY TIMES and other traitors.
This fiction about yesteryear is indeed a deadly parody of current fact. Whose side are they on, anyway?
Whose side are those on, who support them?
Send this to Rush, Hannity, Medved and the like. Great comedy is always rooted in truth.
No song here, Karl, but a mocking song of the NY TIMES would be fitting. Along with several of the DemocRAT elected officials, they are among al Qaeda's best friends.
Please send away.
I wonder...during the Cold War when the Soviets had 4,000 missles poised to strike over 500 targets in the United States within an hour from lift-off, did we monitor any conversations pertinent to their imminent firing?
If we didn't then, then our leaders back then, were bigger buffoons that the buffoons of today.
We need one about whether it was "constitutional" to intercept the ULTRA messages.
Doug, there is no doubt that the NYT would have published
the news of the failure of "Operation Tiger" if they could
have found out about it.
Operation Tiger was a mock landing preparitory to the invasion, it was staged to train US troops, several LSTs
were torpedoed by German E boats with the loss of over 750
men.
A disaster no matter how you look at it, with neglect by the Royal Navy having pride of place.
The US Peoples "right to know" would have trumped any
security concerns the NYT might have had.
Look it up.

How about Pearl Harbor?
ha ha, when I first read it, I thought I didn't realize it was a parody and thought it was real! I was about to post something like 'no different 61 years later'.
With today's current crop of reporters and editors, it would have happened as I wrote it.
Hard to imagine any Democrat doing that today ....

Thanks for the reference.
Yup, the NYT certainly has a right and really a duty to keep the American citizens (and all people of the world including the Germans and Japanese) informed of anything this radical going on in secret. The people demand to know what their evil war mongering government is doing behind their backs - after all it is the taxpayers money being spent here! We demand do know if you are using "the Navajo code" to pass secrets about US citizens without their knowledge - there has been some rumors in last weeks NYT that the evil Government just might be spying on Ethel and Julius Rosenberg without a warrant and using "the code" to pass such information. You go NYT - print everything ya got so we can vote for NO WAR!!! /sarcasm
No question, WW II was won without the requisite permission of the League of Nations and the Vichy French. The victory lacked legitimacy.
Doug, one addition:
Aides to Gen. Eisenhower told the Times anonymously that Gen. Eisenhower has no exit strategy, a fatal flaw in Overlord. Some retired military men (one, at least, a marine who won medals in the First World War) suggest that Gen. Eisenhower should call off the invasion because it may lead to terrible losses among the Allied troops. He said that the United States military can do no further good on the Continent and should be brought home to guard the home front.
Gen. Bernard Montgomery, hero of El Alamain in North Africa, agreed with this sentiment. "Monty" defeated Field Marshal Erwin Rommel (Germany's "Desert Fox") in tank warfare beginning at El Alamain in Egypt. He drove Rommel and his troops from North Africa.
Gen. Montgomery has been rather vocal in his belief that he should have been chosen to lead Operation Overlord rather than Gen. Eisenhower. He said that he is prepared to lead the remaining Allied armies to victory in Europe if the United States withdraws its troops. General Patton is rumored to have snorted "Montgomery has no exit strategy, either".
There is substantial feeling in the Congress, particularly among some who served valorously with the AEF in the First World War, that the troops should be brought home. FDR is being blamed for many of the losses, along with Winston Churchill.
