Yes, Admiral Kimmel had been told of an attack many times. The Japanese code had been cracked, and American code readers had indeed found many excerpts that told of an attack. But the problem was, the Japanese were not communicating where and when. Japanese forces had managed to keep that secret, using a whole number of secret communications to get that through. There had been threats of an attack long before FDR had imposed the 'trade act' which denied the Japanese crucial supplies, such as fuel. That practically sealed the Pearl Harbor attack. With only enough fuel for six months, the Japanese acted. Hence, the Pacific War. I strongly disagree with the idea that FDR planned the Pearl Harbor assualt, or even knew. Because if he did, then he already had ample proof to declare war, and Pearl Harbor would never had had to happen, good either way, if FDR knew, then WW2 would've been shorter, no need for conspiracy theories.
