‘‘The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor caught the president totally unaware’’, says the president’s spokesman.

This was the greatest magnitude of intelligence failure. Additionally, how could the president and his officials allow an operation that could claim over 2400 lives of their fellow Americans with no clear motive?
