Whitehouse: "We Will Have Our Victory and Our Peace Regardless"

Deputy Imperial Chancellor Sheldon Whitehouse delivered a speech to parliament and the press, urging the people and lawmakers not to succumb to the "needless drama" such as that recently stirred by the Alliance of the East pulling out of the war.
"A lot of noise has been made in the media and in parliament recently, ever since the peace deal concluded between Cantonos and the Red Federation. There have been calls for condemning the Alliance of the East. Make no mistake: I have a strong disagreement with the decision made by the Prime Minister of Cantonos and the President of Crotanos to conclude a peace deal which effectively permits the Red Federation to keep a significant amount of their ill-gotten gains. My heart bleeds for the formerly free peoples in Lantru and eastern Ouruland. But these knee-jerk calls to condemn the victims of the single most devastating explosion that ever shook the Earth are nothing but needless drama. You'll find that our position in the war grows stronger every day, irrespective of Cantonos."
"We've just had some more excellent news from the front lines: the illegal dictatorship that has occupied the Free United Cities is gasping its last agonized breath as our heroes surround them at their last stand; the religious extremists in Draaz who have allied themselves with the Red Federation in an attempt to destroy the secular democratic values of the Nilira Alliance have just lost a major stronghold - wiping out the majority of the Red Federation's military support in the region and leaving Draaz's capital city as its final defense. Trade Confederation Jaharnum is rising up from the ashes and retaking their country even before our troops have arrived to help them. Every front of the war is on the verge of a total success. We will have our victory and our peace regardless of Cantonos. That is why I urge the great people and parliamentarians of this country not to get swept up in the drama of the moment. Our status remains as it was before: we're on track to finish the job correctly, and then we're gonna bring our boys back home. May it happen sooner rather than later."
