Explanation:

Loaded language like "a date which will live in infamy" and "suddenly and deliberately attacked" emphasizes the unprovoked, shocking nature of the attack, framing it as an urgent, grave event that demands immediate action. This language highlights the critical, time-sensitive nature of the request for war.

Answer:

It calls attention to the urgency of the message.
