Let's imagine that, after winning a disputed presidential election in 1940, George W. Bush is the president in 1941, when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor.
May, 1942: President Bush, proclaiming in a yachtside chat, that "the intelligence is the real deal", claims to have irrefutable proof that the command center for the Imperial Japanese Navy is located in a third country. He orders the US Army to attack and invade Columbia.
July, 1942: The US Army marches into Bogota. President Bush rides a Dauntless divebomber onto the deck of the USS Hornet and proclaims "mission accomplished.
December, 1947: The sixth anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack finds the US Army bogged down in jungle warfare against opponents waging a guerrilla war. That night, Emperor Hirohito, General Tojo and Admiral Yamamoto enjoy a nice dinner in the Imperial Palace.
