We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind.
We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our policy?
I will say: It is to wage war, by sea, land, and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us;
to wage war against a monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime.
That is our policy.
You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word:
It is Victory,
Victory at all costs,
Victory in spite of all terror,
Victory, however long and hard the road may be.
