Nothing.
Most media sources are very low profile if even existent this morning.
And even here on this forum, no response from the usual(s).
They are be adhering to that time honored expression...if you cannot say something nice don't say anything at all.
Rand Paul made his usual upchuck catharsis after the speech.....so that doesn't count...SOS contrarian whack job!

I listened very carefully and heard no mention of how we were going to pay for the new ramp up of troops let alone pay for the last sixteen years. We have thrown billions and billions of dollars away, killed thousands of innocent citizens (collateral damage I think it is called), sacrificed the lives of too many of our troups, and have thousands of physically wounded and PTSD cases we will be paying for their entire lives. All without paying a damn cent, all on the credit card. That new multi billion dollar aircraft carrier we just dropped in the water doesn't help a bit but sure is impressive. I still maintain if we were paying for this real time the war would have been over 15.5 years ago. It is easy to be a hawk when your grandchildren are paying for it. IMHO
