RUSH EXCERPT:
WRIGHT: "Well, I thought one of the things that was most striking was that he takes a military approach to dealing with extremism, whether it’s arming the Saudis, talking about the security arrangements that the Arab countries have to take in dealing with extremism to as you pointed out, drive them out, drive them out. And he doesn’t really deal with the kind of broader issues. The irony is he talks so much about the jobs created by these arm sales to the Saudis, because jobs are so important in the United States, and he doesn’t reflect on the fact that it is in many ways a jobs issue inside many of these countries too that have led people to either dissent from their governments or join extremist movements. He doesn’t make that connection. The other thing that was really striking was at the very end of the speech when he talked about Iran, he’s equating Iran and ISIS and Al Qaeda in a way that is apples an Oranges and maybe even Pears. He talks about that Iran’s people are its longest suffering victims, when ironically just two days ago, 73% of the Iranian people got out and voted for a new president. And he talked almost about regime change, that until Iran was willing — until Iran has a government that is willing to deal with the outside world, as if it involves a change of government, which is a radical shift from the positions of the last several U.S. Presidents. So the tone was very strident. He also said that he wasn’t going to lecture to the assembled leaders, but in fact that’s exactly what he did."
