Germany wasn't involved in Pearl Harbor either, yet FDR chose to focus American efforts on the defeat of Germany. He sold this to the American people, before the war, with far more deceptive tactics than anything Bush has ever used.
Um, didn't Germany declare war on the US shortly after Pearl Harbor?

Yes. On Dec. 8th, the US declared war on Japan, but not Germany and Italy. On Dec. 11th, Germany declared war on the US. BTW, there were 9 separate investigations into the Pearl Harbor attack, the first, conducted by Navy Secretary Frank Knox, began on the 9th and ended on the 14th. The second, The Roberts Commission began on Dec 18th, 1941 and concluded on Jan 23, 1942.
