Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker refuses to accept defeat and launches into an exaggerated rallying cry. The reference to Germans bombing Pearl Harbor is a comic historical blunder, making the confidence more ridiculous. Enthusiasm overwhelms accuracy as the speaker insists that their side alone can decide when to stop.
