Stunning Historical Discovery
By Peter Kirsanow
Cambridge, Mass. - Celebrated historian Bertram Oxley has uncovered a memorandum from former Japanese Emperor Hirohito to Admiral Yamamoto dated December 6, 1941, showing that the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was motivated by an offensive film made by Charlie Chaplin ridiculing Japanese cuisine.
"Contrary to historical accounts over the last seventy years," Professor Oxley said in an interview today with the BBC, "What appeared to be a meticulously planned surprise attack was actually a spontaneous demonstration by moderate sushi connoisseurs in the Imperial Navy in response to a hateful and offensive movie. Thereafter, extremist elements within the Japanese military co-opted the spontaneous attack, transforming it into the overseas contingency operation sometimes referred to as 'World War II.'"
The discovery has created a sensation in scholarly circles. "This is a remarkable find," declared Reginald Smythe, chairman of the Progressive Historians Association and former Obama State Department official. "Had President Roosevelt condemned this movie - instead of uttering that infernal 'Day of Infamy' provocation - the war could have been avoided and millions of lives would have been saved."
Reached at his home in Houston, former President George H. W. Bush, an aviator in the Pacific during the war, expressed skepticism. "It's simply inconceivable that the Japanese First Air Fleet, with six aircraft carriers, could have staged a spur of the moment attack on an island thousands of nautical miles from the Japanese homeland with such stealth and precision." Most experts dismissed Mr. Bush's remarks, however, since it's widely understood that World War II was primarily his son's fault.
White House spokesman Jay Carney, asked this afternoon about the memo's discovery stated, "Of course, hindsight's 20-20. But one can only wonder how much pain and suffering could have been averted had FDR simply apologized to Hirohito at the outset."
"Fortunately," Carney continued, waving off questions from White House reporters anxious to return to questions about Mitt Romney's grooming habits, "We've evolved to a more sophisticated strategy of leading from behind, so we're unlikely to repeat the disastrous mistakes of the past."

So, The president is supposed to appoligize for some video that really did not have anything to do with a preconcieved
attack on an American embessy. Give me a break. I've had enough of someone appoliging for me and my service for OUR country.
Valarie Jarrett must be writing Jay's speeches also.
thanks for today's laughter.
Jeannie, I began chuckling and turned to laughter, when ``Mr. Riley can Balance Pro's & Con's on the Out-come of this Year..! I may say the Facts are True..~~Salute
This is another left wing/progressive ploy manufactured to push a foolish agenda and divert the attention of American people away from truth and solid principles. The devil is becoming delusional and grasping at every straw to hold on to power, when, in fact, it is slipping away as the American people are waking up to his evil ways.
The Japanese trainned for months before getting underway.. They thought all of our fleet would be in port and they would wipe our ships out and they could take over the west pac from Japan south... This from a Japanese flight leader after the war ended
Wasn't this the same advise that was given to explain the embassy invasion, a film that was didtastful by obozo???
This is nothing more than another forged "birth certificate" created to make Obama seem reasonable. People forget that Japan attacked with more than ships and more than one place. That in and of itself makes the new revelation suspect and bogus. Not only that, but remarks and historical fact from Japan's Generals and leaders after the war give no indication that would remotely point to this "memo". Someone is going to have egg on their face with this one, it is just so completely stupid.
