nothing he said in that speech is surprising - at the end he is angry about all the troops who are dying - this is precisely why Americans are blase about the US involvement in the Middle East, the number of US deaths has been very low. In Vietnam people would see every night on the network news a casualty/death count and footage of plane loads of coffins coming home. And it enraged people.
there are many who agree with that policy, of bringing as many countries under US influence before the Chinese/Russians do. As I said in an earlier post, there are no good guys in the Middle East, none of their populations are well educated, well treated, prosperous, political/religious rivals are brutally killed etc etc
for me it's only the cost of American lives and the money being spent that is the concern and who is benefiting from the billions being spent.
