#1 Roosevelt spent $2 billion dollars (1940's dollars) on the Manhattan project based on reports of German WMD's. Other than this recently discovered drawing, there was little evidence found of these WMD's. He then used the excuse of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor to go to war with Germany. There was never any proof that Germany was involved in the Pearl Harbor attack!

Aren't you glad the MSM was on our side in WWII

#3 I, for one, am completely glad that the MSM was on our side in WWII. You forgot to add though, that after the war we uncovered how brutal ~~Saddam~~ Hitler was to certain ethnic/religious groups. Man, the similarities are eerie, eh?

#6 He then used the excuse of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor to go to war with Germany.

I think he used the "excuse" of Germany declaring war on us to go to war with Germany.

#7 The Germans and Italians declared war on the US on 11 December 1941.

Oh, and don't forget the heavy water plant in Norway, which was part of the German bomb program.

#8 Here's the full-size image. Can anyone read the label on the purple thing on the upper half of the drawing? If that's meant to be fissile material, too, it looks a bit as if they're trying to make a gun-type weapon with plutonium.

#11 What was this fission fusion device they tested?
Did it go boom, fizz or what?

#12 ....Guys, I am NOT an expert on nuclear weapons - conventional airmunitions were my career - but for a lot of reasons, this didn't smell right. A Gentleman of My Aqcuaintance who is a specialist in this field, however, has made a few points:
For starters, the design would seem to show that this is a gun-type bomb - where a slug of Uranium is fired into a larger receptacle of uranium, starting the explosion process. But the bomb shown here uses plutonium - which is used for implosion weapons, a completely different type and design. (Note that there also appears to be no way for the slug to enter the sphere at the front of the design). Second, the shape of the slug is wrong - it is flat at both ends - there's no reason for the needless complication of it being aerodynamic. Third, the bomb is labeled 'Uranium Bomb Mark I' - but the material inside, again, is plutonium.

#14 Recommended reading:

Skis Against the Atom, by Knut Haukelid. Account of the commando raid on the Norske Hydro heavy water plant in Vemork. Haukelid was there.

You'll have to root around in the Library Stacks for it, or else write to Little Norway museum in Blue Mound, WI

#16 Now for something a little sobering.

Rent or buy the film "Patton." Look for all the news reels commentaries. You hear the word Americans only once of dozens of references. Instead you hear the words "Allies" or "Allied" in lieu of the proper description American.

The MSM then were likely cowed into going along but by no means loyal, in my opinion.
