Not really if you do the research, the fake "who knows what really happened" is a meme there. FDR engineered it, although a few of his cabinet people knew what he was up to and had difficult ethical wrestlings. He figured he had to lie and say he was forced into it, because he had famously pledged during the campaign - and it was probably part of why he won - Mothers of America, I promise you, your boys are not going to fight in any foreign wars.
Dirtbag thing to do, and the Japanese paid a high price for it :-/
