Explanation:

Roosevelt's speech was to justify the need for war (explaining military action's necessity) and to gain public support (rallying Americans for war). It wasn't mainly a threat to Japan, proposing alternatives (as war was the focus), or showing differences (though differences existed, the main goals were war - related justifications and support - gathering).
