I understand the Roosevelt/Pearl Harbor business. What Harry is saying, I think, is that Roosevelt (or the people that wanted Great Britain out of the way) might have waited even longer, had not Roosevelt's hand been forced by Pearl Harbor.
If Roosevelt had been "ordered" to stay out of the war for longer, he might have carefully kept advance knowledge of the Japanese fleet out of the reach of whatever (civilian) group was holding his leash. It would be interesting to see if the (hypothetical) "leash-holders" were some special interest bunch as opposed to the general public.
