Full speech and transcript here on npr except it is not complete!
i just can’t ….his reading of the prepared remarks is painful to listen to (since i can’t bring myself to actually, oh, LOOK at him).
y’all can discuss, i am just gagging at him quoting himself and saying absolutely f*cking nothing! he is NOT announcing the number of troops or anything else… the new “pillar” of his “new policy” is “i’m not gonna tell you!”.
good god! it is a speech relitigating his prior inconsistent statements. i can’t … i just can’t transcribe this crap!
“the next pillar of our aproach is to change the way we deal with pakistan...but…. i’m not gonna tell you cuz they are baaaad… but they are our valued partner…. but…. "
wow!
oh.
yeah
he lifted restrictions on fighting imposed by "the previous administration”— war crimes, anybody?
"retribution will be fast and powerful as we lift restrictions in the field… since my administration, we have achieved … blah blah blah..."
going to go hurl now...
and, waiting for a REAL transcription of that speech!
