I recommend watching Pompeo’s speech at American University in Cairo on YouTube. Excellent speech and shows how good President Trumps foreign policy is.

-4 ( +0 / -4 )

Mike "the Rapture" Pompeo is a dangerous man. Possibly more so than his boss. His latest comments about Syria and Iran are not helpful and indeed seem to verge on a hatred of Islam.

A reminder that fundamentals are what causes division and conflicts.

There is nothing actually wrong with fundamentalism as long as the fundamentals are sound and it isn’t just the fundamentalists who cause division and conflict.

I can’t stand Pompeo but I’d take his fundamentalism over that found in Islam. The Islamists and jihadists make Pompeo look like a puppy.

Thing is, his Islamaphobia is in check when he's doing his master's bidding on Saudis. But if it comes to Iran, there it is again.

There's no logic in fundamentalists.

According to the definition of the silly word ‘Islamophobia’, I’d say most people on the planet are islamophobic, including many Muslims .

It is such a silly, illogical word. I’ve come across reformist Muslims who object to the use of it as it obfuscates honest and much needed conversation on reform. It’s a propaganda term which Islamists love.

No, I disagree. The speech Obama gave was a complete and total embarrassment. When he did that, go on an apology tour I already knew the guy was going to be piece of crap. Pompeo was exactly on point, I couldn’t find anything at all wrong with his speech. Iran is the problem has been for years and is responsible for killing thousands of Americans. He’s also right that Iran must be contained and with the help of the Saudis and Israel, that objective can become a reality. Because they all know what a threat these Mullahs are. Good man, amazing speech, that’s how it’s done.

How do you go on an apology tour but not apologize once?

You can't find anything wrong with anything Trump or his people do. It's called hyperpartisanship.

Did the other world leaders laugh at him openly in the UN for saying stupid stuff?
