I can't recall exactly where but it would not be hard to find again if I needed to, but I came across some information that proves to some extent that the USA new about the impending attack on pearl way before it happened and even sunk a sub or two from the jap fleet, one of which has been found but anyway it appears they new and had loads of time to stop it. They did not respond on purpose. It was used as back reasoning for getting into the war.
Sounds very fromilliar...the gulf off tonkin also comes to mind along with 9/11.

The Gulf of Tonkin has also been proven to have never taken place at all.
