Trump Compares US Attack On Iran To Pearl Harbor
This is pretty nuts.
One thing, you don’t want to signal too much. When we went in, we went in very hard and did not tell anybody about it because we wanted the surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why did you not tell me about Pearl Harbor? Okay, right? He is asking me — now you believe in surprise, I think, much more so than us, and we had to surprise them, and we did. And because of that surprise we knocked out in the first two days, probably knocked out 50% of — and much more than we anticipated. So if I go and tell everybody about it, it’s no longer a surprise, right?

Trump is in effect saying we are Japan in the analogy to Pearl Harbor.
So he admits it was a sneaky and cowardly attack
Sounds like it
What kind of heads up do you believe we should have given Iran that we were going to attack?
Hilarious that the folks that seem to believe we should have given Iran a heads up are many of the same folks that wanted hegseth fired because he supposedly gave a heads up
Your hero just compared the US attack on Iran to the Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor take your complaint up with him
You don't think moving two carrier battle fleets to the region was a heads up? A lot of military assets were prepositioned throughout the region for the attack. Israel was signaling readiness for attack. Walking away from the progress in negotiations signaled an attack.
Maybe all the signals for war is why Iran began hiding missiles/drones and prepared to close the Strait of Hormuz?
The problem is not giving a heads up to Iran (which obviously happened anyway). The real flaw in planning was not giving a heads up to allies in the region. It's kind of hard to win friends and earn respect when allies are treated like a threat.
Negotiations were scheduled for 48 hours after the attack happened. The attack was a sneak attack although not entirely unexpected
Negotiations with who? Decapitating the regime kind of interferes with negotiations, doesn't it? Even Trump complained he didn't have anyone left to intimidate (er... negotiate with).
Of course, you fail to include where he said, and I paraphrase "why didn't you tell us about Pearl Harbor". Any critical thinking person knows he meant "why didn't you give us a heads up", because the reporter asked why we did not give Iran a heads up.
We understand the hatred for one man is all life encompassing, but damn.
Probably because some of these countries have the equivalent of American democrats, and they would have screeched like banshees to Iran what the plan was, just like what some of our democrats would have done.

Some Magas have a reading comprehension disability
OK, to make Trump's statement even more funny is he actually was asked by the reporter why he did not give Japan a heads up about the attack on Iran.
Some people need to get a sense of humor
His answer was pretty funny, actually, but many of our ‘friends’ on the left will be offended because….or something
Let's see, Japan sneak attacked the United States. The United States sneak attacked Iran. Yup, big difference there.
(You do realize that Trump was giving a backhanded compliment to Japan for a sneak attack, right?)
Maybe. But it seems more likely Trump didn't want to hear any objections from people smarter than he is.
Which is almost everybody.
And that we could end up nuked.
none, your hero is already doing a fabulous job of it, like no one has ever seen before ...
A day that will live in infamy. Sounds about right.
yeah but the US are now the infamous. I want my white hat back
Trump tries to be clever and he is not good at it at all. He compared the US attack on Iran to the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor
Personally I would have felt giving Japan a heads up than giving many of the the dems in the house and Senates a heads up. Less of a chance of Iran learning about it in advance.
Our "Master Negotiator/smartest president ever" (/s) thinks it's funny to poke Japan about Pearl Harbor. And people still support this jackass.
Perfect to ping pong from calling conservatives snowflakes to being bothered by this.
IMO if he insulted PM Takeshita that militaristic bitch deserves it.
