I don't think that guy (and many others, including the US military) fully understands how the majority of the American people feel about this or just how much solidarity there is in the general public.

This isn't like Vietnam. The American public isn't going to get weary of this conflict. I think they are quite willing to suffer tremendous casualties in going after these groups. And I think the American public is quite willing to have this go on for years; perhaps decades.

The American public is happy that the UK seems to be behind the effort, but in the end, they don't care if the US is going to go after terrorists by itself.

And they don't care if other countries raise a big fuss about it. They just don't care about how the rest of the world views them in this conflict.
