Is it just me . . .

I was turned on to Lisa Lashes by an online friend who happens to be a huge fan. Lisa Lashes is a phenomenal dj and I truly regret missing what was sure to be an amazing show. A recently acquired bootleg has been keeping my car stereo busy for sometime now and in this particular mix there is one song that stands out. It contains a sample of a speech so full of dramatic pauses that even George W. Bush himself is put to shame. I have recreated the speech for you here and cut it up according to these insanely long pauses:

We have learned.
That war.
Is not necessarily.
Better.
And if we can neither.
Answer all questions nor solve.
All problems.
We cannot afford to do.
Everything.
As we meet the future.
So together.
In a spirit.
Of individual sacrifice for the common good.
We must.
Simply.
Do our best.

Firstly: Does anybody know where this speech is from? Secondly: Is it not the most cliched, contrived, nonsensical, half-assed speech you've ever read in your life?
