Bill O’Reilly: The president’s speech on Afghanistan was strong in tone but cloudy on specifics.

The President said he wasn't going to be specific ... he's not announcing what our military will do or when.

BOR can kiss my behind. Trump said he wasn’t going to telegraph strategy.

Rand Paul proves he’s a complete idiot and uses a specious argument for pulling out of Afghanistan. Yeah, Hobbit-Boy... let’s give the terrorists a new home.

I had some trouble listening through Roku - will look for a transcript.

But I greatly like what I heard; and the speech was one of the most coherent and powerful that I’ve heard from a President.

Maybe it’s good that someone who really wants to FIGHT is going to make it his war, and finally end it - instead of *playing* at fighting. I’ve known service men who lost limbs, and were absolutely pissed that we didn’t fight to WIN.

Text is available here, and seems accurate as to what I heard:

Without complete devastation a destruction of much of a Afghanistan and killing every male over 10 years of age, this is just another 8 years of the same ole same ole. Maybe Bannon was right. The Trump Presidency has ended, the swamp run things now.

Why? Did it really matter in Vietnam? We got the hell out of there after years of sacrifice too. In the end he didn’t run on this war-mongering neocon crap, he actually ran against it.

Lindsey Graham: “I am very pleased with this plan and I am very proud of my president.”

Ben Shapiro: More Seems like the only big difference from Obama on Afghanistan is Pakistan policy.

Laura Ingraham: Now SpeakerRyan is back criticizing DonaldTrump to applause on CNN tonight. Trump “messed up” and had “moral ambiguity.”

Spoke too soon.

Dana Perino and Juan Williams are coming up next on Fox News to present THEIR opinions (maybe they could call it “The Two,” which adequately describes the number of functioning brain cells between them).

General Graham’s formula of perpetual war isn’t very reassuring either

One of his finest speeches. He is so strong, so smart, so right on target.

We are safer and more blessed with General Trump in charge.

Thank you, Mr. President, for all of your hard work and selfless gift to our country and We the People.

We’re not going to fight to win this time either. There are at least 40 million muzzies over there somewhere who either are or would be terrorists. We are not going to kill that many people over there. It just isn’t going to happen.
