But the blatant "See how bad/evil/stupid the Yanks always are" wore thin.
Putting words in my mouth I see.
The context of what I stated before is correct. The British government re-payed the aid given by the US with all the intel it had available on the Japanese threat, which was largely ignored by FDR's Director of Communications at the time William J Donovan, a man with a well documented dislike of the British.
As with many of the great moments in history the 'lack' of intel prior to the attacks on Pearl Harbour was down to he attitudes of an individual rather than nation.
