Has been brought up tons of times and I tend to agree. The higher ups knew darn well it was comming. Needed a way to get us into the war in Europe. Lots of micromanagement problems, old fashioned thinking, and a dash or two of stupidity. Never mind the guy in the Philippines. As Yamamoto knew what was going to happen when they woke up the sleeping giant. With Pearl, who in their right mind doesn't send in the third wave to blow up all of the service and fuel facilities?

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?").
