This came up after speaking to a Canadian a few days ago. I wonder if his attitude to the US was mirrored by other Canadians and what the Americans on here thought about these things.
Is this almighty fuck up mentioned in US schools and so on?

It isn't mentioned in US history because it just isn't worth the breath of the professor.

That's interesting since exactly the same thoughts about the welcome US forces would get in Canada were used in Iraq.
Perhaps history does hold lessons "worth the breath of the professor".

An event that never happened is worth the time of day of a history class? If you are studying the fluid changes in alliances, yes, but the real history of the time by regular students, not a chance.

Go back to taking pictures until you can drop your bias.

Looks like US foreign policy hardly changes. Their arrogance continues to fuck themselves up as well.

Original Poster:

This looks like a CONTINGENCY PLAN.

Nations do this all the time, and still today. Canada has a Contingency Plan on how they would attack the United States.

You obviously don't know much about the military, contingency plans, or history.

No just an anti US bias

Ooh, I just heard a good war joke. Having the French fighting with me is as useful as taking my accordion with me when I go deer hunting.

I find your post amazing. All of the OP's links related to events or actions that were pre WWII. You might want to think before you post.

Yes, but I was replying to the war in your post, which was the last time the US had a post invasion plan.

That I doubt.....

But back on topic, the OP posted about pre WWII events, so my response was on target... You need to have a better answer.

Of course the point is not anti US propaganda but the US should have taken note of the failed idea in 1812 before doing the same in Iraq.

I wonder why all the posters who claim I hate the US are missing that bit out.
Do you guys think that line should have been used in Iraq or would it have been better, considering hindsight, to have considered it?

I don't hate China.
