It’s a bloodbath at the State Department,” the New York Post hyperventilated last Friday: “Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is cleaning house at the State Department, according to a report.” In Donald Trump’s America, so much has happened so quickly to set the nation on a course decisively different from the one it was on during the regime of his disastrous socialist internationalist predecessor that this particular bit of good news was largely overlooked. But if a housecleaning at the State Department isn’t a cause for celebration, nothing is.
“Many of those let go were on the building’s seventh floor — top-floor bigs,” the Post tells us, and adds that this is “a symbolically important sign to the rest of the diplomatic corps that their new boss has different priorities than the last one.”
Pop the champagne!
And not only that, but “this week’s round of firings marks the second time State Department personnel have been cleared out since President Trump took office last month. Four top officials were cleared out of the building at the end of January.”
Break out the hats and hooters!
We can only hope that with the departure of these failed State Department officials, their failed policies will be swept out along with them. Chief among these is the almost universally held idea that poverty causes terrorism. The United States has wasted uncounted (literally, because a great deal of it was in untraceable bags full of cash) billions of dollars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Egypt, and other countries in the wrongheaded assumption that Muslims turn to jihad because they lack economic opportunities and education. American officials built schools and hospitals, thinking that they were winning over the hearts and minds of the locals.

Liz,
There is a reason we have been fighting in these crapholes.
Afghanistan has many of the worlds most rare natural resources.
Iraq, oil.
Not too sure why the hell we are messing with Pakistan other than those crazies have nukes.
But there is usually MONEY or resources at the root of all this
Yeah, right....so where’s all the Afghan treasure? ....the Iraqui oil?
Pres Trump’s pet peeve is that we spent trillions of tax dollars in these countries, and lost rivers of young blood.....and got NOTHING out of it.
Tell me another one.
Ripe for kickbacks...
