Hitler had a lot of nice things to say about America, and also about Great Britain. As you said, Mein Kampf, in its international sections, was about getting lebesraum in the east, and didn't talk about fighting Britain or the US. If this is evidence that he didn't have designs on us, I guess that it is proof that he never attacked the British either, right?
I think he looked at America as something to emulate, in his own way. He saw the strength that America derived from its large mass, and felt that Germany needed to increase its area in order to attain that type of power.
His comments about colonial powers seems to suggest that Germany's destiny (and future greatness) resided in expanding Germany's national borders, and not through colonialism.
