"My fellow Americans I regret to inform you that this morning the Japanese navy moved a carrier group into Hawaiian waters (which we destroyed)....while simultaneously attacking our protectorate of phillipines....we are therefore in a state of war with the empire of Japan".....isn't that enough for an isolationist America to go to war?

That's enough for a war....the conspiracy is that he subsequently stood down the navy? Or what?

If he knew the carrier group was coming, then he had sufficient grounds for war, and he should have been happy at that point that his desire (to enter the war) was achieved
