Obama's Afghanistan Speech Was a Snoozer

To say the cadets were underwhelmed by President Obama's Afghanistan speech is a gross understatement.


Reportedly, the cadets were told to respond "enthusiastically" to Obama's speech, but they had trouble even staying awake.

Der Spiegel reported:

Never before has a speech by President Barack Obama felt as false as his Tuesday address announcing America’s new strategy for Afghanistan. It seemed like a campaign speech combined with Bush rhetoric — and left both dreamers and realists feeling distraught.
