That's one definition of wet, but not the only one.

Here's 3 more:

• Covered or soaked with a liquid, such as water.

*Not yet dry or firm.

*Stored in or prepared with water or other liquids.

All of these apply to water. Something being able to make something else wet doesn't stop that first thing being wet, try putting on a wet Tshirt and then tell me if it is wet, and if it's made you wet.

What a pointless not. Water is definitely wet.

> this is the biggest pile of dung and revisionist history i have heard in a long, long, time.

These thoughts were bandied about in 1941 by Republicans and others right after the attack. The attack was predicted in 1941, front-page news on one of Honolulu's major newpapers a week before the actual attack.

In the 1990s Kimmel and Short, the Navy and Army commanders in Hawaii at the time of Pearl Harbor had their smearing rescinded with an excuse that they were denied key intelligence by Washington.

> Did the US "provoke" japan and force it to invade China?

Japan invaded China for simple imperial reasons. But Japan was pressured to attack the US as a defensive move.

When Stinnett discovered the McCollum Memo we listed out the steps we took to provoke Japan into attacking -- and carried them out. It's all there by a US Navy intelligence officer who was born in Japan and who had weekly contact with FDR and the White House.

The details uncovered in Stinnett's book flush the full story out.

After France (then the world's 2nd largest empire) fell so quickly the US was shocked and horrified. We at first started attacking German submarines in the Atlantic but Hitler ignored our provocations. So we then sought to get into the war by the tri-partite military alliance that Nazi Germany, Italy and Japan had.

> maybe you should learn about history before posting such ridiculous nonsense.

Dig through my decade-plus history of reddit posting and you'll see that I'm a former professor and US/world history teacher.

> "For a long time I have believed that our best entrance into the war would be by way of Japan." -- Harold Ickes, Sec. of the Interior, October 1941. The book "Day of Deceit" documents how the US adopted a policy to provoke Japan into attacking the US to cause the US to enter WWII.

With journalist/author/WWII veteran Robert Stinnet's discovery of the "McCollum memo" and his subsequent book on Pearl Harbor, some historians are questioning that point.

> "Japan was provoked into attacking America at Pearl Harbor. It is a travesty of history to say that America was forced into the war." -- Oliver Lyttleton, British Minister of Production, 1944.

Walter C. Clemens, author of Can-Must-Should We Negotiate with Evil? and Getting to Yes in Korea, offers a view of what the new Geneva talks with North Korea should entail. Clemens states that, among other things, an agreement would likely need to include not just nuclear issues but a peace treaty to end the Korean War and a resolution of the disputed offshore border between the North and South. This is a good read, not too dense.
