You ask what the aim is? I tell you it is victory - total victory.

Before Alamein we never had a victory. After Alamein we never had a defeat.

Victory was to be bought so dear as to be almost indistinguishable from defeat.

No compromise with the main purpose; no peace till victory; no pact with unrepentant wrong.

They will be sore tried, by night and by day, without rest-until the victory is won.

No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people, in their righteous might, will win through to absolute victory.
