Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) talked with SiriusXM host Matt Boyle on Tuesday’sBreitbart News Daily about his hopes for President-elect Donald Trump’s foreign policy, as expressed through his choice for secretary of state.
Paul said he has “looked at the Secretary of State position as probably one of the most important picks that will come up” and hoped Trump would choose “somebody who understands that the Iraq War was a mistake.”
As one of ten Republicans on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Paul’s vote could be decisive, should all nine Democrats on the committee stand together against Trump’s nominee.
“Regime change hasn’t made us safer, that in order to build … here at home, to rebuild it, we can’t build and spend billions of dollars overseas building other people’s infrastructure,” Paul contended. “Some of the people he’s appointed, I think, have understood this. General Flynn has said that the historical lesson of the Iraq War was that it was a strategic failure, so I think Flynn gets it, and I’m hoping he’ll give him that advice as his national security adviser.”

He has looked at the position of secretary of state and how important it is , it can't be that important because Hillary held that position.
I hate to say it but I voted for Obama the first time because I was totally PO'd at Bush for getting us into that stupid war in Iraq. That war cost a lot of American lives and thousands more injured and it completely disrupted the entire middle east. Then Obama comes along and makes things 10 times worse. I hope,I'm fairly sure, Trump will keep us out of troubles that are not a threat to America. Right now Obama is backing the Syrian rebels, another stupid mistake.
Hillary didn't fill it, she just used the title. Nothing good came of her years as SecState, and we're learning more each day about how ineffectual, even damaging, she was.
Iraq was a mistake and to distable middle east just like 911 was a lie people will learn maybe 50 years from now
...Santa is real and the Easter bunny makes nice Hershey kisses.
DRAIN THE SWAMP (including Congress...with the next time in LESS than 2 years) DRY and start fresh! Old ideas/conspiracy theories need to go!
TRUMP DYNASTY has just begun.
(remember he has lots of youngins to last many lifetimes!)
