This notion is absurd on its face. If FDR DID know in advance, he could have protected Pearl Harbor AND gotten us into the war. For example, he could have had 1000 fighters on alert and the Pacific Fleet standing by the guns. The Japanese would have been the ones surprised! The combined firepower of five battleships and maybe 50 other armed vessels in an area as concentrated as Pearl Harbor would have totally and utterly vanquished the 300 incoming aircraft. Meanwhile, two U.S. submarines could have taken care of five aircraft carriers and their escorts. The war against Japan would have been essentially over by December 8th (their Combined Fleet ceasing to exist) and we could have still been in the war. Anyway, had FDR known, he could have had his cake and eaten it too (unless someone can claim his motivation was military deaths and the loss of the Pacific Fleet).
