It's comparable in that both FDR and Bush 43 faced one day events that
fundamentally changed the course of the country.

FDR mastered his challenge, Bush 43 is foundering.

Comparable? They are the same,because PSYOPs aganist its own people is the only
thing that some elements inside US gov't understands.

1)
"FDR stated that we are likely to be attacked perhaps as soon as next
Monday..The question was how we maneuver into the position of firing the first
shot without too much danger to ourselves.In spite of risk
involved,however,inletting Japanase fire the first shot,we realized that in
order to have the full support of the American People it was desirable to make
sure that the Japanase be the ones to do this so that there should remain no
doubt in anyone's mind as to who were the aggressors"
Henry Stimson,Journal entry dated Nov.25,1941

2)
"..as America becomes an increasingly multicultural society ,it may find it
more difficult to fashion a consensus on foreign policy issues,except in the
circumstances of a truly massive and direct widely perceived direct external
threat"

Zbigniew Brzezinski,Grand Chessboard,1997

3)...the process of transformation....is likely be a long one,absent some
catastrophic and catalyzing event -like a NEW PEARL HARBOR"

Rebuilding Americas Defenses,Sep.2000

4)
"The other day the reporter friend told me that one of the highest ranking CIA
officials said to him,off the record,that when the dust finally
clears,Americans will see that September 11 was a triumph for the intelligence
community,not a failure"

CIA agent Baer,See no Evil,2002

We see the same movie for 150 years.
