CUs. 18:14:26 25Aug43 FDR speech defying Hitler at Ottawa (SOF): “Sometimes I wish that great master of intuition, the Nazi leader, could have been present in spirit at the Quebec Conference. I am thoroughly glad that he was not there in person. If he & his generals had known our plans they would have realized that discretion is still the better part of valor. And that surrender would pay them better now than later. We have been forced to call out what we in the United States would call the sheriff’s posse - to break up the gang, in order that gangsterism may be eliminated in the community of nations. We are making sure, absolutely irrevocably sure, that this time the lesson is driven home to them, once & for all. Yes, we are going to be rid of outlaws this time.” (applause).
