I found the president’s speech disingenuous and doublespeak. Why talk about
focusing on rebuilding this country when you are recalling a minimal number of
troops? Do we have the money for rebuilding Afghanistan and Iraq, fighting in
Libya and Yemen, supporting Pakistan? If so, then why is our economy in the
tank?

I have no doubt that Republicans are trying to game the president. But if the
president behaved more progressively in his politics and erred toward the views
of his base, I think it would have retained that wave of enthusiasm that made
history when he was elected. Surround yourself with hawks (including Hillary)
and corporatists, and that’s the advice you heed.

You see what Vietnam is now? Prosperous, and that the communist regime is not what LBJ claimed what it would be: domino theory.
