Quote #4
As Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense. (19)
That's right, Japan: Commander-in-Chief Roosevelt isn't messing around here. The U.S. isn't going to take a few measures, or a measure here and there. Nope, it's all measures on deck to deal with this underhanded shadery. Teaser: A-bombs.
Quote #5
I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December 7th, 1941, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese empire. (26)
This is where President Roosevelt officially asks Congress to declare war on Japan, and his wish is granted. Nobody puts Baby in a corner…or unexpectedly attacks an American military installation. Not on FDR's watch.
